looqs - Looks for files. And looks inside them

looqs creates a full text search for your files. It allows you to look at previews where your search terms have been found.

Currently, this allows you search all indexed pdfs and take a look at the pages side by side in an instant.

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
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.
