• 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
