recoll-webui

To take it further install recoll-webui [1] and SearxNG [2], enable the recoll engine in the latter at point it at the former for a web-accessible search engine for local as well as remote content. Make sure to put local content behind a password or other type of authentication unless you intend for it to be searchable by outside visitors. Source: I made the recoll engine for Searx/SearxNG and have been using this system for many years now with a full-text index over close to a terabyte worth of data.

Recoll is not just a desktop search engine, it can also be used as an intranet search engine either 'stand-alone' [1] or as an 'engine' in Searx [2]. I made the Searx engine a few years ago to extend Searx to intranet search, the QT qui is not used (an, on Debian, not even installed - only the 'recollcmd' package is needed).

A thick catalogue (ELFA Distrelec 'Elektronik och Automatisering' 2013-2014) on which I placed a stationary laptop hooked up to a 24" monitor. On that monitor I have access to more or less all the books in the world in one way or another so I don't bother with paper versions anymore. I actually just made an engine [1] for the Searx [2] meta-search engine to allow it to search through a local library using the Recoll [3] search engine, making life even easier as search over my personal library is now integrated into the same search engine I use for other purposes. With full text search using a query language [4] which resembled the defunct Xesam [5] language it is above and beyond what the likes of Google Scholar offer. While I'm in many ways something of a traditionalist - living on a 17th century farm in Sweden, cooking on a wood-burning

I really like full-text search for books. Currently I use: - Safari Books Online: expensive, and only works with books on their platform - Recoll: libre/free, and can search a local book collection. Built as a desktop app, although there's at least one web client[0] If either LibreRead or one of the Recoll web UIs can match the speed and UI of Safari's full-text search, I'll be very happy.
