Recoll

Recoll is a desktop full-text search tool. It finds keywords inside
documents as well as file names.

  • Versions are available for Linux and MS Windows.
  • A WEB front-end with preview and download features can replace or
    supplement the GUI for remote use.
  • It can search most document formats. You may need external applications
    for text extraction.
  • It can reach any storage place: files, archive members, email
    attachments, transparently handling decompression.
  • One click will open the document inside a native editor or display an
    even quicker text preview.
  • The software is free, open source, and licensed under the GPL.

For more detail, see the features page on the web site or the online documentation.
