Strigi was a file indexing and file search framework (see
Deskbar applet.) The graphical user interface (GUI) is named Strigiclient.[4]
It was replaced with Recoll in KDE5 Plasma desktop environment.
Features
- SHA-1 hash for every file indexed to find duplicates
- As of July, 2007 Strigi supports indexing the contents of plain text, PDF, MP3, archives, Debian and RPM packages, and OASIS OpenDocument text (odt), spreadsheet (ods) and presentation (odp) files
- D-Bus and socket support for communication between the daemon and search program
- Small memory footprint
- Xesam query language support
- Very portable, currently runs on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD,[5] Mac OS X and Windows
- Pluggable backend: backends are being worked on
- inotify and synchronization to filesystem are being attempted.[2]
- Strigi's indexing can be stopped manually, and will suspend itself if running on a laptop's batteries, disk drive runs out of space,CPU is not busy with tasks that the computer-user is waiting on the CPU for.[3]
Operating systems and desktops
Strigi used to be a core component of the
NEPOMUK used to work together to help create a semantic desktop search. NEPOMUK allows the user to add metadata, which Strigi would index for a more precise search. It has since been replaced with a home-grown solution, the nepomuk-metadata-extractor.[7]
Ubuntu
8.10, for example.
