Template:Future software Strigi is an advanced search daemon that will be included in KDE 4. It aims to be extremely lightweight and fast, but have advanced search functions expected for desktop search. Strigi can extract information from within files like the length of an audio clip, the contents of a document, or the resolution of a picture. Strigi and NEPOMUK are working together to help create a semantic desktop search for KDE. NEPOMUK will allow the user to add metadata, which strigi will be able to index for a more precise search.

Features

  • SHA-1 hash for every file indexed to find duplicates
  • As of July, 2007 Strigi supports indexing the contents of pdf, mp3, plain text, archives, Debian and RPM packages, and OASIS OpenDocument text (odf), spreadsheet (ods) and presentation (odp) files
  • Dbus and socket support for communication between the daemon and search program
  • Small memory footprint
