ripgrep-all VS pdfgrep

I searched in portage, and it seems there is another version working also with other documents like PDFs and doc.

If you want even faster search across different formats, you can try ripgrep-all ( https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all ). It can search across epub, docx, pdf, zip, mp4 etc. If you are handy with the tool, you can write custom adaptor to search across images using OCR with tesseract.

1. If you want better adoption especially among corporations, GPL-3 wont cut it. Maybe think of some business friendly licenses (MIT etc)

2. I understand the excitement about llm's. But how about making something more accessible. I use rip-grep-all (rga) along with fzf [1] that can search all files including pdfs in a specific folders. However, I would like a GUI tool to search across multiple folders, provide priority of results across folders and store and search histories where I can do a meta-search. This is sufficient for 95% of my usecases to search locally and I dont need LLM. If khoj can enable such search as default without LLM that will be a gamechanger for many people without a heavy compute machine or who dont want to use OpenAI.

I use `rga` to search through multiple PDF files for work. The tool returns a list of files and I would like to make those file paths clickable.

rga, aka ripgrep-all

I wanted to say 'au contrer' to your 'screenshots are not searchable' and link this[0] but I don't actually see images in the readme.. I swear it was there, maybe it's a buried extra flag..

I use this script to make recoll produce pdfgrep-like output so that I can use it with Emacs and pdfgrep.el. This gives a nice interactive way to search through thousands of pdf files.

For Emacs users there is also https://github.com/jeremy-compostella/pdfgrep which lets you browse the results and open the original docs highlighting the selected match.

Pdfgrep is another option. It's a command line utility. I think you can just give it the file name of a certain number of PDFs and it'll search through them. There's apparently a pdfgrep mode and Helm apparently has pdfgrep as well. I'm not sure if any will search all open PDF buffers rather than a directory though.

The eMacs interface can be found here: https://github.com/jeremy-compostella/pdfgrep (sorry, I’m too lazy to see if someone has created a package for this).
