Feedback & Testers Wanted | FileSearch App Prototype

🔍 This is a Search App for local files (.pdf and other file types). Prototype uses caching + multiprocessing and no indexing. Built with Python and PySide6 GUI. The App reads the full file content if you want. A search depth is adjustable.

Similar to DocFetcher, but with a modern UI and Snippets.

Goal: make local search feel like a web search engine.

I'm looking for feedback on features and use cases.

  • Which additional features would you like to see?
  • Start with small local directories for testing
  • Installer for Mac and Windows are available in the release area on Git Hub

Check the README and open issues on GitHub.
