~70400 matches spread across ~3700 files.  Perhaps it's an extreme case
(I used a generic search term, "color").  I tried a more specific search
term ("clang analyzer") which returned 30 matches across 14 files.
Here's the benchmark:

Elapsed time: 10.176629s (0.946311s in 2 GCs)

I guess the command could signal ongoing progress somehow, to assure the
 user that Emacs is actually working and not frozen.
