Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

One easy solution might be to check into a self-hosted search engine? I've used mnogosearch in the past which worked well for spidering a single domain, but it only created the database and didn't have a web page front end. Still, if you let it go crazy across your nextcloud pages and add a search bar to your website it could provide what you're missing. They provided enough examples at the time for me to write my own search page pretty easily.
Thank you for this! I have sent this suggestion off to our web wizard it looks extremely promising, we had wanted to attempt something like this but couldn't find a foot hold to get started!
Good luck! And don't get stuck on the software I use, you may find something else that is better suited for your type of data. Like if your content is wrapped up in PDFs or some kind of zipped files then the best solution is one that can peer into those files to give search hits on the given text. Of course if your content is already fairly plan text then pretty much any solution would work.
