A fast, multi-threaded file system indexer and search tool with a web interface, supporting text/metadata extraction, thumbnails, OCR, and incremental scanning.
What is sist2?
sist2 is a command-line and web-based file system indexer and search engine. It scans directories, extracts text and metadata from a wide variety of file formats, and builds a searchable index that can be queried through a fast web interface. It solves the problem of quickly finding content across large, local file collections without relying on cloud services.
Developers, sysadmins, and power users who need to index and search personal or organizational file archives, media libraries, or document repositories on their own hardware.
Developers choose sist2 for its exceptional speed, low resource consumption, extensive file format support, and the flexibility to run entirely offline with either a heavyweight (Elasticsearch) or lightweight (SQLite) backend.
