   @manisha I use Recoll for searching my scanned-and-OCR'd correspondences: https://www.recoll.org/

   Its primary use case is as a local search, but it also has a web interface for the search.

     Does anyone know of an #OpenAccess full-text #PDF #search engine/tool using which I can search for relevant PDFs from a self-hosted #database?

     Context: we have a curated database of #research articles but so far our search capability has been limited to tagged keywords or title and abstract field search only. We'd like to be able to search the entire PDF.

     Side note: I know that PDFs are not a great way to store scientific information. I'd prefer not to use a proprietary #LLM if possible
