There are many (desktop) search programs 
but most have their drawbacks:
- some search only on filenames.
- or they work only for text documents.
- or they work for all documents:
    These have a lot of extra code to get the information 
    from word,excel,pdf,text,jpg,png,video and so on.
- some depend on Windows or QT
- or they are written in java and have dependencies
    java runtime + swing and so on.
- some are very big to install.
- some are complex to compile + install.
- some have to may options / settings.



On all my systems python is already available
and most of my systems are using gtk3.
The first attempt is python-whoosh
( not sure if it's fast enaugh ).
pacman -S python-whoosh = 4 Mb.
And the result of the experiments is this project.
By the way: speed is not an issue
Generating an index of my 50.000 photos takes 
a few minutes. But that's only done once.
Updating is a lot faster.
Search words and presenting the result is very quick.
