Pinot is a D-Bus service that crawls, indexes your documents, and monitors them for changes. It is also a GTK-based user interface that enables you to query the index built by the service or your favorite Web engine, and display and analyze the results. It makes full use of advanced indexing and search facilities offered by Xapian, features language detection, dynamic document summaries, easy labelling of documents, and internal support for common file types. The D-Bus interface allows easy integration with other applications. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The Xapian-related code was moved into a separate back-end. Several issues were fixed with query stemming, which is now independent of the language filter. Viewed documents are added to the desktop environment's list of recently used files. When the index needs updating, the user is now told on every run until they click the "Don't warn me again" check box. The Status window shows which engines are available. The Sherlock plugin parser was fixed. Support for Xesam languages was updated to RC1. The D-Bus interface was expanded. The Dutch, Spanish, and Swedish translations were updated.
