About Swish-e

Swish-e is a fast, flexible, and free open source system for indexing collections of Web pages or other files. Swish-e is ideally suited for collections of a million documents or smaller. Using the GNOME™ libxml2 parser and a collection of filters, Swish-e can index plain text, e-mail, PDF, HTML, XML, Microsoft® Word/PowerPoint/Excel and just about any file that can be converted to XML or HTML text. Swish-e is also often used to supplement databases like the MySQL® DBMS for very fast full-text searching. Check out the full list of features.

Swish-e was recently featured in the Linux Journal article How to Index Anything by Josh Rabinowitz.

Swish-e is descended from the original web indexing program SWISH by WWW Hall of Famer Kevin Hughes.

Swish-e is distributed with no warranty under the terms of the
