# 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
