Indexing/Searching in Linux?

If you don't mind paying for a solution, dtSearch also has a Linux version (I think that it was just recently released) - http//www.dtsearch.com/dtStore.html and http//www.indiaprime.com/dtsearch/EngineLinux/index.htm HTH

rusaus,

Please GOOGLE first. There are a number of indexing applications that run natively in Linux and these will be returned in any search engine. Some are commercial, others have no financial cost.

Cheers!

Thanks gents,

'dtSearch for linux' is a SDK searching engine only with no front-end etc and is made available for developers only at this stage. Unfortunately I am not that good at coding yet, but I am working on it -)

In the mean time I am using Goggle extensively to search for the solution. I also would like to hear from people who are using indexing for forensic purposes, not just document or web indexing. I am new to Linux forensics (not to Linux or forensics). Currently I am indexing mounted -o ro image in SMART with glimpse and Linux goggle desktop is next on my list.

Open for suggestions,

best regards rusaus.

You might also give ptk a look

It has an indexing feature for keyword searches, using the glimpse engine. It's still in beta, but has exhibited no instability thus far for me, though I've done only a little testing on it. (I have NOT tested the indexing feature, but it is there).

I was on a webcast with the DFLabs PTK developers some time ago and asked about keyword list searches rather than single words, and they said that the capability of adding keyword lists would be added.

Thanks bgrundy. I will have a look.

rusaus, there's also the following article which discusses Linux Desktop Search over at http//tuxtraining.com/2008/03/18/linux-desktop-search/ HTH

Thanks,

that should get me started )
