Albert S aeafa9560e mainwindow: Disable page switcher while generation is running 
This prevents 'spam'. User may have scrolled 10 pages forward, while
we are still generating old pages. Then the user wonders why
they arrive so late.

So disable switching pages while the generation is still running

It is unlikely that a user will have to quickly go through search
results like that.

looqs - FTS for the Linux desktop with previews for search results

looqs creates a full text search index for your files. It allows you to look at previews where your search terms have been found, as shown in the screenshots below.

Current status

Last version: 2022-0X-XX, v0.1

Please see Changelog for a human readable list of changes.

Goals and principles

  • Find & Preview. Instead of merely telling you where your search phrase has been found, it should also render the corresponding portion/pages of the documents and highlight the searched words.
  • No daemons. As some other desktop search projects are prone to have annoying daemons running that eat system resources away, this solution should make do without daemons where possible.
  • Easy setup. Similiarly, there should be no need for heavy-weight databases. Instead, this solution tries to squeeze out the most from simple approaches. In particular, it relies on sqlite.
  • GUI & CLI. Provide CLI interfaces and GUI interfaces
  • Sandboxing. As reading and rendering lots of formats naturally opens the door for security bugs, those tasks are offloaded to small, sandboxed sub-processes to mitigate the effect of exploited vulnerabilities.

Supported platforms

Linux (on amd64) is currently the main focus. Currently, I don't plan on supporting anything else and the sandboxing architecture does not make it likely. I suppose a version without sandboxing might be conceivable for other platforms, but I have no plans or resources to actively target anything but Linux at this point.

Licence

GPLv3.
