FTS desktop file search with previews

If we had something like c:(test) sort:(mtime, desc), then we would run into an sql error eventually, since we would have added an implicit AND token before the sort condition. This is wrong, as a sort is not a filter. So, as a quick hack to fix this, just remove a preceeding boolean (as dirty as it may be, but it does the job for now). |

qss
quite simple search (qss) creates a poor-man full-text search for your files using a sqlite database.
A simple gui renders the pages of the documents where your search keywords have been found. Currently, this allows you 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 should also render the corresponding portion/pages of the documents and highlight the searched words.
- 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 solution tries to squeeze out the most from simple approaches. In particular, it relies on sqlite.
- GUI & CLI. Provide CLI interfaces and GUI interfaces
