Open Source Search Software

DocFetcher is an Open Source desktop search application: It allows you to search the contents of files on your computer. — You can think of it as Google for your local files. The application runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support.

Power searching on your desktop without the pain. Perform powerful desktop searches without having to index your system using regular expressions. Graphical equivalent to find/grep. Available for Windows (JAVA) and Linux (Gnome & KDE) and easy to translate into your locale.

An advanced command-line tool designed to brute force directories and files in webservers, AKA web path scanner. Wordlist is a text file, each line is a path. About extensions, unlike other tools, dirsearch only replaces the %EXT% keyword with extensions from -e flag. For wordlists without %EXT% (like SecLists), -f | --force-extensions switch is required to append extensions to every word in wordlist, as well as the /. To use multiple wordlists, you can separate your wordlists with commas. Example: wordlist1.txt,wordlist2.txt. Default values for dirsearch flags can be edited in the configuration file: default.conf. The thread number (-t | --threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster dirsearch runs. By default, the number of threads is 30, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress.

Search and replace operations on file content accross multiple files. Recursive operations within entire directory trees. FAR comes with support for regular expressions (regex) over multiple lines, automatic backup and various character encodings. Run grep like extractions to condense or rearrange sources, or perform bulk file renaming.

Laravel Scout provides a simple, driver-based solution for adding full-text search to your Eloquent models. Once Scout is installed and configured, it will automatically sync your model changes to your search indexes.

The name “SWR” is derived from stale-while-revalidate, a HTTP cache invalidation strategy popularized by HTTP RFC 5861. SWR is a strategy to first return the data from cache (stale), then send the fetch request (revalidate), and finally come with the up-to-date data. With SWR, components will get a stream of data updates constantly and automatically. And the UI will be always fast and reactive. With just one single line of code, you can simplify the logic of data fetching in your project, and also have all many amazing features out-of-the-box. SWR has you covered in all aspects of speed, correctness, and stability to help you build better experiences. Fast page navigation, polling on interval, data dependency, revalidation on focus, revalidation on network recovery, local mutation (Optimistic UI), smart error retry, pagination and scroll position recovery, React Suspense, and more.

This program is a GUI for the command line tool grep and pdfgrep. Pdfgrep search text in multiple PDF files and grep can serach text in multiple text files. You can use regular expressions for the search (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). This GUI and the command line tools work without indexing. The following options are used: -i (ignore case) and -F (fixed strings), -n (Print page number or output lines) and -H (Print the file name for each match) from the command line tool. The -r option will be done by the program itself. Performance: This GUI works well when searching in several hundreds of documents (depends on the speed of your computer and the length of the documents). Config Dir: [homedir]/.config/pdfgrepgui Available Languages: - English - German You can add your own language by editing the file [homedir]/.config/pdfgrepgui/language.set

CRGREP searches for matching text in databases, various document formats, archives and other difficult to access resources. A command line tool for name and content text matching in database tables, plain files, MS Office documents, PDF, archives, MP3 audio, image meta-data, scanned documents, maven dependencies and web resources. CRGREP will search resources within resources of any arbitrary combination or depth, so text within a document within a zip archive, and so on. Here you will find binary downloads and discussion (https://sourceforge.net/p/crgrep/discussion/) . The actual development and issue tracking can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/cryanfuse/crgrep

Aperture is a Java framework for extracting and querying full-text content and metadata from various information systems (file systems, web sites, mail boxes, ...) and the file formats (documents, images, ...) occurring in these systems.

GUI of indexed grep in Windows and Linux. A source code indexing tool, near instant code search tool and navigation. Good for small to medium size code base. It supports fuzzy matching, auto complete, and live grep for real time query. Manage different projects and switch for different projects Drag and drop of filenames to your favourite editor.

Dessy is a DEsktop Search and SYnchronization framework for mobile devices. It allows file search using content, metadata, and custom tags, and synchronization of results, and entire file system subtrees. It works on MIDP 2.0 handsets and Java 2 SE.

This library implements several locality sensitive hashing(LSH) based algorithms, including indexing data structure for high dimensional spaces and metric spaces, sketch constructions and set embedding algorithms.

MARKOS developed a prototype of a service and an interactive application providing an integrated view on the Open Source projects available the on web, focusing on functional, structural and licenses aspects of software code.

BeanQuery is a Java solution that allows for querying arbitrary collections of arbitrary object types by using a criteria like API in a declarative and typesafe manner.

DFA library is a regular expression library capable of the classic RE syntax (i.e. - without any perl extension). Unlike many other libraries with similar functionality, a deterministic finite automata (DFA) is used. DFA was formerly called npcre, wh

A highly adaptable, configuration-driven search engine that uses a data source connector interface that allows for many different data sources to be accessed. Needs no recompilation. Ever.
