- MegaDeKay 4y agoDoes Calibre fit the bill? The program itself is great, but it supports a plugin system that really puts it over the top. One of them automagically strips off Adobe DRM for any book loaded in to it. https://calibre-ebook.com/ https://calibre-ebook.com/
- natrys 4y agoSeems that with calibre-web[1] we can have nice web front-end. But it doesn't have full-text search inside the content of the books though, unlike google books. [1] https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web
- MegaDeKay 4y agoCalibre 6 adds full text search, though not sure if that works from the web interface. https://calibre-ebook.com/new-in/fifteen https://calibre-ebook.com/new-in/fifteen
- mdp2021 4y agoOne product could be "Ambar: Document Search Engine" https://github.com/RD17/ambar https://github.com/RD17/ambar > Ambar is an open-source document search engine with automated crawling, OCR, tagging and instant full-text search > *Easily deploy Ambar with a single docker-compose file; *Perform Google-like search through your documents and contents of your images; *Tag your documents; *Use a simple REST API to integrate Ambar into your workflow
