XIVDB is the closest thing I see to what you're looking for (and it is neither complete nor term-searchable). It's been frustrating me for a while watching all the old resources for lore library-building dry up. I need to make friends with people who do it manually for their database sites, lol.
Yeah, it's pretty odd. I haven't even been able to find a program for dat-swapping, which I would expect to see since 1.0 had it. . .
