I misunderstood the term “file handler”, and I did something wrong. In fact, “file handlers” would be third-party programs that would have to be installed; there are NOT registry entries. And, FileSeek searches .ao files, as well as it does .rtf files, without any renaming to .rtf or whatever, and notwithstanding the fact that in the “File Handlers” list in the program, you cannot enter an additional suffix (e.g. .ao”). As for the context lines of hit lines, since those .rtf \par entries get their own line, so often, in order to get (some of) the line above and below, you must show 2 lines above and below, but as said, this context display will not elongate the hit list, but is done in an extra window.

Thus, FileSeek is probably your tool of choice for many a one-file search of files in various formats. (As for searching in file groups, I’ll stay with File Locator, but FileSeek has joined it, and Everything, in my autostart folder, for continuous, concurrent use, each of them providing its respective strengths for particular tasks. Btw it’s extremely difficult, in AHK and such, to maintain an up-to-date repository of your key assignments, your functions, and your applications (= scope for the scriptlets); think about (outcommented) tags in your code, and then hit tables, and search-in-search, again: way better than trying to resolve it with cloned items, db’s and such (this applies to outliners AND to editors).)
