Recoll – Full-text search for your desktop
I use this script to make recoll produce pdfgrep-like output so that I can use it with Emacs and pdfgrep.el. This gives a nice interactive way to search through thousands of pdf files.

Search multiple selected pdfs in Org mode Emacs at the same time?
Pdfgrep is another option. It's a command line utility. I think you can just give it the file name of a certain number of PDFs and it'll search through them. There's apparently a pdfgrep mode and Helm apparently has pdfgrep as well. I'm not sure if any will search all open PDF buffers rather than a directory though.

Is it possible to search text into OCRed PDFs? How?
The eMacs interface can be found here: https://github.com/jeremy-compostella/pdfgrep (sorry, I’m too lazy to see if someone has created a package for this).

Recoll – Full-text search for your desktop
Recoll is not just useable for desktop applications, it can also be used as a local web search engine through recoll-webui [1] (link goes to my own repo which has some modifications to make it work with the Searx/SearxNG engine) which in turn can be used as an "engine" in Searx and SearxNG through the recoll engine [2] (which has been merged so it is no longer necessary to pull it from my repo).
This last option makes Searx/SearxNG useable for all types of searches, both local as well as remote. I've been using this exclusively for many years now over a large collection of documents (about 600.000 entries) with good results.
