sist2 VS SingleFile

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.

That's interesting. I have been saving articles as PDF files, which is browser-independent, but useful just for search and reference, a nuisance to quote/copy-and-paste.

If I search only the computer, I don't get results from EBay and Amazon at the top. The idea of keeping the knowledge base separate from the primary notes is a good idea. In my case, that knowledge base is the file system, and the primary notes are whatever I choose.

When I was using Evernote, the inbox was the knowledge base and notebooks were the focus. I just had too many different potential projects going on to manage this well.

Looking to focus.

I'll revisit Firefox and SingleFile.

I agree it would be "great" a complete website in the ZIP. I think this is technically possible, someone just have to code it.

Singlefile [1] works pretty well for me for that use case.

It has the added advantage that the file format is just plain HTML, and together with “reader mode” in most browsers, it’s a great way to save long-form text or other mostly static pages for later reference.

It obviously doesn’t work for very dynamic pages, let alone web apps.

I’ve tried all the third party services for archiving interesting things over the years but nothing beats saving everything to your local filesystem using [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) and using a full-text search front over the directory (something like Houdahspot, for example).

If you want to save them as a file locally you could use something like SingleFile. You could also put the URL for each wiki into archive.org's Save Page Now so that anyone can access it. Either way, without scripting, you'll have to do some manual labor to get the URL for each wiki.

For small numbers of pages, the SingleFile[0] extension for Firefox (WebExtension) is pretty handy. It's not "archival quality", though, if that's the kind of "archiving" you're doing.
