Pinot is a D-Bus service that crawls, indexes your documents, and monitors them for changes. It is also a GTK-based user interface that enables you to query the index built by the service or your favorite Web engine, and display and analyze the results. It makes full use of advanced indexing and search facilities offered by Xapian, features language detection, dynamic document summaries, easy labelling of documents, and internal support for common file types. The D-Bus interface allows easy integration with other applications. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The CJKV tokenizer was enhanced. Mixing CJKV and non-CJKV text in queries now works as expected. CJKV queries on Web engines and the generation of abstracts were fixed. A new libexif-based filter allows you to extract image metadata. The mbox and HTML filters are better at handling non UTF-8 documents. The language specified by a document is checked for validity. Several concurrency issues were fixed. New directories were not always crawled and monitored as expected. The daemon now detects whether another instance is already running. A new Japanese translation was added.
