the app can be launched by running the DocFetcher.sh launch script (either via double-click or from a terminal). It won't install itself into your menu automatically. You'll have to follow a tutorial on the web to create a .desktop file.
If the DocFetcher.sh script doesn't work, try to run it from a terminal and post the terminal output here.

The zip file has be decompressed and placed in a directory. The properties of the DocFetcher.sh file has been checked to verify it is executable. The terminal command was issued of ./DocFetcher.sh, and it returned:
ls: cannot access './lib/*.jar': No such file or directory
./DocFetcher.sh: 13: ./jre/bin/java: not found
Therefore, we see that the directions are not correct, unless I missed something.
Thank you.

Here's what the contents of the DocFetcher folder should look like in the non-portable version:
help
img
jre
lang
lib
misc
py4j
DocFetcher.sh
docfetcher-daemon-linux
Readme.txt
search.py
Most of these are vital app files, and the app won't work without them. This means your zip archive might be broken, or the zip archive was unpacked incorrectly.

Oh my, no. I have 271 files in that directory. The zip was downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/docfetcher/ and was extracted by Xarchiver. Its name is DocFetcher-1.1.26-Linux-64bit-NonPortable.zip.

Xarchiver has never ever before failed to create the directories. So I tried:
unzip -d DocFetcher-1.1.26-Linux-64bit-NonPortable.zip /home/me/Downloads
but it didn't like that.

I tried to follow the directions given but am not able to find the program on my menu or get it to run manually. I am using Debian 12 and Xfce 4.18.
Thank you.

Please check that the file ./jre/bin/java inside the DocFetcher folder exists and has the executable flag set on it.
The contents of the zip file was exported into a directory named /DocFetcher-1.1.26-Linux-64bit-NonPortable. There are no subdirectories.

Looks like Xarchiver just ignored the folder structure inside the zip archive and unpacked everything into the top-level directory.
In a terminal, try unzip instead:
unzip archive.zip -d /path/to/destination/Xarchiver has never ever before failed to create the directories. So I tried:
unzip -d DocFetcher-1.1.26-Linux-64bit-NonPortable.zip /home/me/Downloads
but it didn't like that.
The order of arguments is wrong. The "-d" should be before the destination folder, not before the archive. Try this:
unzip DocFetcher-1.1.26-Linux-64bit-NonPortable.zip -d /home/me/Downloads
That got it. It returned:
./DocFetcher.sh
(DocFetcher:2127096): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:07:54.186: Negative content width -1 (allocation 1, extents 1x1) while allocating gadget (node scrolledwindow, owner GtkScrolledWindow)
But then opened the program. I look forward to trying it out.
Thanks.
