Recoll

A cross-platform desktop search engine that can search through File metadata from various formats including HTML, text files, PDF, and more. It can be automated easily with the command line and it has a GUI available as well as various third-party frontends. Moreover, it has a Python 3 API that can extend Recoll for support to additional file formats, for example.

Like most web search engines, it searches through an index which has to be generated first (i.e., recollindex). With the file changes, the index has to be regenerated.

Recoll is an example of a well-made application that is developer-oriented and trying to be user-friendly with the GUI. It has extensive user documentation that lets you extend Recoll through your own.
