Index and search files from command line, including id3 and xmp tags.
Project description
Description
clsearch indexes files of the specified types(and the default types: mp3,aac,ogg,avi,mkv,mp4) and makes it easy to search for these files by name or metadata(currently id3 and xmp).
The results are ranked using TF-IDF scores with results split into filetype results(ex. search “.mp3”), direct results(query terms in name of the file) and tag results(query terms in any of the metadata tags)
Tested with python 2.6.5 and python 2.7.5 on linux.
Installation
From source: Package is located in dist/clsearch*.tar.gz on github (NOTE: Hit view raw and download) #python setup.py install or From PyPI: #pip install clsearch
XMP metadata:
#pip install python-xmp-toolkit This in turn needs exempi. On Ubuntu: #apt-get install libexempi3
Usage:
$clsearch -i|--index [-d|--dir <directory>] [-t|--types <types>] [-q|--quiet] $clsearch -s|--search <query> $clsearch -h|--help Examples: $clsearch -i $clsearch -i -d /home/example/Music/Awesome/ $clsearch -i -t flv,txt $clsearch -i -t "flv txt jpg" $clsearch -s lazarus $clsearch -s "rock and roll" Note: 1. For xmp tags to be indexed, python-xmp-toolkit and it's dependency Exempy 2.1.1 have to be installed. 2. The indexing operation can be performed any number of times. Only new files are indexed each time. Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -i, --index Index filename and id3 and xmp tags if present. Searches for new files and indexes them. -d DIRECTORY, --dir=DIRECTORY The directory to be searched for files. Defaults to '~' if not specified. -t TYPES, --types=TYPES Additional file types to index. By default mp3,aac,ogg,avi,mkv,mp4 files are indexed. -s QUERY, --search=QUERY Search and return file paths ranked by TF-IDF. -q, --quiet Don't print indexed files to stdout.
Tests
Unit tests are located in src/clsearch/test.
Though each test can be run separately, running $python test_search.py will run all tests because it inherits from IndexTest which in turn inherits from BaseTest.
TODO
Better exception handling
Multiprocessing
Fuzzy search…search for “DSC” gives results for “DSC_001.jpg” but not “DSC001.jpg”
