About:
Pinot is a metasearch tool built around the GTKmm toolkit, the Xapian
information retrieval library, and the language guessing functionality of
libtextcat. It enables one to query search engines, and display as well as
analyze and locally index the returned results. It can also be used as a
lightweight desktop search tool (local documents and mbox mail accounts
can be imported and indexed). The type of documents is currently limited
to plain text, HTML, PDF, and MS Word.
Changes:
This release added support for OpenSearch Description plugins in addition
to better handling of Sherlock plugins. The build system now uses
autotools, and a new command-line tool called pinot_search allows queries
to be run from the shell. The UI's extract field is now resizable. Term
prefixes were changed to conform to conventions used by other Xapian-based
tools. Queries on an index that cannot be locked no longer loop. A number
of UTF-8 fixes were made. Errors in worker threads and at startup are
caught and handled more gracefully.
Release focus: Major bugfixes
