#xapian is underrated

@futurebird @Jirikiha You might be able to build something with #Lucene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Lucene#Lucene-based_projects) or, for a much more lightweight option, with #Xapian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xapian).

You'd still have to build something yourself from those though. For Xapian, looking at the source for #mu4e and #mu would probably be usable as a decent example (https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/).

You'd also need to figure out some way to feed data exports from those into it.

All of my suggestions are #FreeSoftware & gratis.

To add some more information here: This (German) wiki entry provides information which #Debian #packages to install to make #Recoll perform best: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Recoll/

And this article of #LinuxMagazine provides an in-depth explanation of the features of Recoll and why it should be preferred over using #Xapian directly for handling user provided search strings: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2018/212/Tutorials-Recoll

Just integrated #notdeft into #emacs (#doomemacs) and #orgroam.

Should have done that a lot earlier. Played with #deft a bit, but that was super sluggish with many files. Since NotDeft uses #xapian that's no longer a problem.

@kinen Дельный совет был, спасибо. Очень впечатлил #recoll на #xapian движке. Странно, что инфы мало, как будто непопулярный, а ведь индексирует быстро, ищет моментально. На NVME дикие объемы индексировал - все стабильно и предсказуемо, и никаких капризов как у elastic.

#bigdata #search

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browsing_history Suggests the #Google Toolbar does this but I don't want that :)

I just want a #firefox extension that saves to disk for use by a local #xapian (or whatever) search engine.
