librr

It's a tool to index & search your local directory text files, It use solr for fulltext index.

First you need to add a file or directory:

librr add ./gtd

Wait a while for librr daemon to index the files, and find something you interested:

librr search emacs

Then you got the results! librr will monitor file changes in this directories.

System Requirements: OSX or linux, Java 1.6 or greater, ruby gem system.

gem install librr

Start and stop background monitor process:

librr daemon start
librr daemon stop

librr remove ~/Dropbox/sync/b
librr list
~/Dropbox/sync/docs

~/Dropbox/sync/docs/gtd.org:230: bbb emacs

# or using sortcut:
librr s emacs

# set return result rows(default 30):
librr search emacs --rows 100
