Description:

Kat is an application for KDE designed to index files.
Meta information, fulltext and thumbnails are extracted from documents, images,
mp3 and other media allowing quick and accurate information retrieval.
Similar to the Windows application WhereIsIt, but also similar to Google Desktop
Search, Kat is completely written in C++, using Qt3, KDE and KIO libraries.
The application is based on the extensible kfile plugin architecture of KDE in
order to facilitate the creation of new media managers for emerging file formats.
Kat is the first KDE application using the new fulltext kfile plugins.
Information retrieval relies on the powerful SQLite3 embedded database engine.
