I am looking for a nicer way to search files on the local file system via a web service. This service has to be self-hosted. I imagine it to look similar to google: A very simple user interface. When the user starts typing, it is already searching.

Hard Requirements:

• Free as in beer
• Free as in speech
• Plugin-system or otherwise easily expandable
• Tags: The user should be able to add tags to files
• Automatically detects new files and adds them to the index
• My data doesn't go to somebody else

Soft requirements:

• Python plugins
• Good documentation
• Extracts text from PDF documents
• Allow the user to create filters (to automatically add tags)
