I’ve got a few gb of documents and finding things is a removed - I’m actually waiting on the miniforums a1 pro whatever the fuck to be released with an option to buy it without windows (because fuck m$) to do exactly this for our home documents.

I wish that offline indexing and archiving were normalized and more accessible, because it’s a fucking amazing thing to have
a local search engine but shitty, stochastic, and needs way too much compute for “a few gb of documents”, got it, thanks for chiming in
