Simple incremental search tool

Portable search tool for local files using Elasticsearch.

Features

• Incremental search (Search as you type)
• Extracts text from common file types (Mp3 tags, picture sizes, content of docx, pdf, xlsx files etc.)
• Portable installation
• Generate thumbnails for images and videos
• Once indexed, no access to the files is required to search (useful for cold storage)
• Consult videos/GIFs/Images/audio directly in the search result page
• Can be configured to take very low disk space or to store maximum metadata/content
