name: file-indexer description: > Fast filesystem catalog for finding files by name, date, type, or size. Indexes metadata only (no content). Uses SQLite for instant lookups. Triggers on "find file", "where is", "dov'è il file", "search file", "trova documento", "file più grandi", "recent files", "file modificati". NOT for: content-based search (use local-rag), sending files (use file-sender).

File Indexer

Fast metadata-based file catalog. No content indexed — only filenames, sizes, dates, and extensions.

Usage

# Build/rebuild the index (run once, or periodically)
python3 scripts/indexer.py --rebuild

# Update incrementally (fast — adds new, removes deleted)
python3 scripts/indexer.py --update

# Search by filename
python3 scripts/indexer.py --search "budget"

# Filter by extension
python3 scripts/indexer.py --search "report" --ext .pdf

# Filter by size
python3 scripts/indexer.py --search "" --min-size 10485760   # > 10MB

# Filter by date
python3 scripts/indexer.py --search "" --after 2026-03-01

# Index statistics
python3 scripts/indexer.py --stats

Security

• ALLOWED_ROOTS: Only ~/Documenti and ~/Scaricati — same as RAG
• BLOCKED_DIRS: .ssh, .gnupg, .config, credentials, .local, .cache, .Trash
• Zero content: Only metadata (name, size, date, extension) — never reads file contents
• No secrets: Paths to sensitive dirs are never indexed
• Local only: SQLite DB at ~/.local/share/file-indexer/catalog.db

What Gets Indexed

Automation

Add to cron or heartbeat for periodic updates:

python3 scripts/indexer.py --update

Works well alongside local-rag: use this for "where is that file?" and RAG for "what does that file say?"

质量很好。功能实用、运行稳定，搜索速度快，安全性设计周全，能有效保护隐私。文档清晰易懂，对使用场景的划分很明确。不过目前只能索引两个固定文件夹，灵活度稍差；另外目前只支持英文和意大利语指令，希望后续能加上中文支持。
