It uses file inodes and modification times to avoid unnecessary re-indexing. Additionally, the client only depends on the Python standard library.
    Run `python server.py DIRS_TO_INDEX` to start the server. Make sure you don't include nested directories or weird stuff will happen. The server currently only indexes images although more modalities may be supported in the future. There are probably some weird race condition bugs if you modify a lot of files at the same time. - Then run `python client.py SEARCH_TEXT NUM_RESULTS` to get a list of the most similar files. You can pass this list to an image viewer such as Gwenview to view image results, although note that Gwenview doesn't preserve the order of the images. Alternatively, add a third parameter to `python client.py` and it will create a temporary directory containing symlinks to the search results and return the directory name. + Then run `python client.py SEARCH_TEXT NUM_RESULTS` to get a list of the most similar files, or search for a path instead of text for a file to similar file search.
