Description:
 Strigi Desktop Search

Here are the main features of Strigi:
very fast crawling
very small memory footprint
no hammering of the system
pluggable backend, currently clucene and
hyperestraier, sqlite3 and xapian are in the works
communication between daemon and search program
over an abstract interface with two
implementations: DBus and a simple unix socket.
Especially the DBus interface makes it very easy
to write client applications. There are a few
sample scripts in the code using Perl, Python, GTK
and Qt. Writing clients is so easy that any Gnome
or KDE app could implement this.
Aditionally, there is a simple interface for
implementing plugins for extracting information.
We'll try to reuse the kat plugins, although
native plugins will have a large speed advantage.
Strigi also has calculation of sha1 for every file
crawled which allows for fast finding of duplicate
files.
