Re: File Content Search and Indexing?

I think Recoll builds an index. Right?
Others like Beagle as well?

Re: File Content Search and Indexing?

I see. Just to be sure I understand allow me to say what I got in my own words: - every single time I run a search nemo "converts" every pdf file to searchable text then search this extracted text for the word I'm looking for. If I got it correct, I don't understand why not index the old w...

Re: File Content Search and Indexing?

Still don’t understand the search with no indexing. Still trying to learn!

Re: I’m limotux, I’m back again after 10 years!

Hi limotux , welcome back :) you will certainly notice the changes that we've made over the last Ten Years. Sure! Impressive as usual! As a matter of principal I love of course the idea of “freedom” and “community” P.S: I don’t know why I feel the forum is not that “active” or “busy” as before! May...

Re: File Content Search and Indexing?

The default is to search for text strings or by using regular expressions; by default recursively. Indexing gains its speed at the expense of many read/writes to disk which is great if you do lots of searching by key word. Welcome back axisofevil It’s been 2 days and about 10 pdf files. Still it se...

Welcome back and Welcome to the Linux Mint Forums, enjoy! :)
Thank you very much. I’m really enjoying. I am even setting aside my Ipad just to have my LMDE laptop in my hand! This makes me feel at home.

I’m limotux, I’m back again after 10 years!

Hi all, I’m finally back to Linux after about 10 years away! I started Linux since 2000, and been happily living with it for about 12 years till about 2012. Then due to UEFI things and being so busy I didn’t have time to struggle with installing and finding workarounds! Finally, I’m having some free...

Re: File Content Search and Indexing?

Great update

I just installed and updated
Nemo seems great in searching for a word in a pdf file.
I just noticed it is a bit slow, maybe needs time for indexing.

I'll leave it for a while and report back.

Edit: I double checked all helpers you mentioned, I have the same.

Re: chattr error - changing attributes of a certain folder

Wondering if Windows can by any chance read ext4 (as linux could read NTFS using ntfs-3g), ie. by installing something on Windows to read ext4. Easeus Partition Master has ability to read linux-files. Thanks, I'm checking it now. Edit: seems a powerful Windows app... like gparted plus some more fea...

thanks a lot viking777, It seems it can't do NTFS unfortunately. I just created an ext4 partition on my external had disk and it is working fine. The only problem now is that I'm duplicating files on both partitions, but I have to keep them on NTFS as I might probably need to use them on a Windows s...

I tried: chattr -R +a foldername on the local hard disk and it worked like a charm. Then I tried to apply the same ...
