Hey, I’ve been building that. It’s called A Personal Search Engine: https://apse.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
A paid tool in this direction is APSE (https://apse.io) which bills itself as a personal search engine that OCRs intermittent screencaps. I loved the idea, but in practice it lacked polish. I agree that additional metadata like foremost application filepath/url would take this to another level. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
