Strigi is a desktop and indexer independent desktop search engine. Strigi's main features include very fast crawling, a very small memory footprint, no hammering of the system, and pluggable backends (currently clucene and hyperestraier was provided).

Communication between the daemon and search program is done over an abstract interface which is desktop independent. A small Perl program with an example of how to query the database is included along with an example KDE client application and a KIO interface.

What's New in This Release:
SunOS, BSD, 64 bit and Coverity compatibility fixes
Search in a set of default fields and not just in the text content of a file, if no specific field is specified.
Add histogram widget to simple search client
Add support for Ogg Vorbis
Better decoding of email headers
Expand Query object to handle nested queryies
Fix highlighting and display of title in search results.
Fix path for the child indexables
Fix memory problems in archivereader
Check for too short file names and omit the RPM trailer from the results.
Add an additional unit test for the RPM stream provider.
Revert raise() to kill(getpid()) because raise hangs the thread.
Install qtdbus library for strigi.
