• Making a huge collection of PDF's searchable (They are OCR'd already)

  Recoll is free/open source (GPL) that can index PDFs and search them very quickly. It uses Xapian under the hood. I have over 165,000 documents indexed on an old laptop running Linux and can query them all in a split second. Source: 7 months ago

  There is also xapian/recoll https://xapian.org/ which works great for "desktop" search. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
