qss

quite simple search (qss) creates a poor-man full-text search for your files using a sqlite database.

A simple gui (C++ with Qt5) for search is found in gui/. It shows preview pages of documents where your search keywords have been found. This allows you to search all indexed pdfs and take a look at the pages side by side in an instant.

The name of the project will probably be changed.

Goals

  • Find & Preview. Instead of merely telling you where your search phrase has been found, it actually shows it too.
  • No daemons. As other solutions are prone to have annoying daemons running that eat system resources away, this solution should make do without daemons if possible.
  • Easy setup. Similiarly, there should be no need for heavy-weight databases. Instead, this solutions tries to squeeze out the most from simple approaches. In particular, it relies on sqlite.
  • GUI & CLI. Provide CLI interfaces and GUI interfaces
