Gigablast VS sist2

Gigablast - A search engine whose source code is available on Github. TMK, it doesn't depend on any existing indexes either and uses its own crawler. Would be what I'd recommend to everyone but they recently collaborated with a company that has a questionable past to create a privacy focused search engine. A company that was behind the hostile takeover of Freenode IRC.

Any new open-source search option is good, but I also wish more attention was given to prior open projects like GigaBlast[0]/KBlast[1] crawlers, etc.

It hasn't escaped the wider world that quality open-source search is desirable, and it's hard to think what this new EU project brings to the table that isn't already available if others want to contribute to existing efforts. I wish the EU project the best of luck of course!

Quickly Googling for a docker indexer and search app I turned up Sist2, that on the surface looks like might fit your needs. I don't have an appropriate data store to run it against, so I can't speak to its indexing speed or efficacy. However, the developer does have an accessible demo to try, and the front end at least appears to function well.

I'm also looking for tools like this. You can check out this: https://github.com/simon987/sist2

Maybe sist2 (https://github.com/simon987/sist2 may fit the bill. It indexes all the metadata and then act as a giant search engine.

I am long user of sist2 from simon987 for full text search of pdf. It indexes everything (file content and metadata) through elasticsearch while providing a nice GUI. https://github.com/simon987/sist2

I have no experience with this tool, but I recall seeing it in the past. Perhaps it fills your need: https://github.com/simon987/sist2

sist2 is my primary file indexing / search engine for my SingleFile web archive. Lightweight, blazing fast and tons of customisable options.

I haven’t tried it in ages but used recoll for local indexing lots of random documents, I found a few repos on GitHub and Docker Hub but nothing super active but may be worth looking at viktor-c/docker-recoll-webui or sist2 is newer and I haven’t used it but may be better maintained at this point

Having a tool that can scan and index a shared folder would be amazing, and it being accessible from a web browser would also be great, because then I could search from any one of my several devices. The closest thing I have found was sist2. The demo seems to be what I need, but I couldn't seem to get it to run with docker. There's a direct install method, but I haven't tried that yet.
