I've recently purchased Attache for my iPad, and perhaps I can be helpful in this. In short, Attache doesn't support cloud-based searching very well. It does allow you to sync with Foxtrot indexes that are in your local wifi network. This means you can only search Foxtrot indexes that are in your home. In my experimentation with Attache, I'm able to sync my local Foxtrot index to the cloud via Google Drive, but not Dropbox. Thus, if you want to be able to search your Foxtrot index while away from home, the only solution I've found so far is to use Google Drive. However, that solution is not reliable and it is not formally supported by Foxtrot, so I'm not sure how much longer that feature will be updated on future iOS/iPadOS updates.
If you're in a pinch, I think Attache is a good solution because there's no other alternative for doing this kind of deep search on iOS/iPadOS. The only problem is it's buggy and I'm not sure how well it will be maintained going forward.
