You can install Indexly by running pip install indexly in your terminal. On Windows, macOS, and Linux, Python 3.10+ is required. For developers, clone the GitHub repo and run the indexing command from the project folder.

Indexly supports text, PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, EPUB, ODT, PPTX, images (JPG, PNG, TIFF), and more. Check the documentation for the latest list of supported file types.

The Indexly database (fts_index.db) is created automatically when you run indexing. If installed with pip, it’s stored in your Python site-packages/indexly folder. If cloned from GitHub, it’s located under project-indexly/src/indexly.

Yes, Indexly supports regex searches and logical operators like AND, OR, NOT, and NEAR. This lets you run advanced queries, match patterns, and refine results easily.

Yes, Indexly is fully offline and works without internet. Once you’ve indexed your files, searches are fast and private, powered by the local SQLite FTS5 database.

Run the indexing command again to refresh the Indexly database with new or updated files. If searches feel outdated, clear the cache to ensure fresh results.

No results usually mean: 1) Indexing hasn’t been run, 2) The database is outdated, 3) The file type isn’t supported, or 4) The cache is stale. Try re-indexing, clearing cache, or using simpler search queries.
