About

BeaconFind is AI file search for Windows that runs entirely on your own machine. Press Ctrl+K and describe a file the way you would to a colleague, and it finds the document even when you cannot recall its name: "the rental contract with the deposit" finds scan0047.pdf. Ordinary search matches literal keywords, so "salary" misses a payslip that says "compensation", and a scanned PDF has no text to match at all. BeaconFind indexes what files are about. It reads 70+ file types including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, code and email, matches across 50+ languages so an English search finds a German document, and uses OCR to read text inside screenshots and scans. It also answers questions about your documents with citations and finds duplicates. Every AI model runs locally. Files, their contents, your searches and the index stay on the machine, and there is no telemetry. Only a licence check and an update check reach our server, and both can be firewalled.

About

Windows Search is a desktop search platform that has instant search capabilities for most common file types and data types, and third-party developers can extend these capabilities to new file types and data types. Windows Search is a standard component of Windows 7 and Windows Vista, and is enabled by default. Windows Search replaces Windows Desktop Search (WDS). The WSS organizes the extracted features of a collection of documents. The Windows Search Protocol enables a client to communicate with a server that is hosting a WSS, both to issue queries and to enable an administrator to manage the indexing server. When processing files, WSS analyzes a set of documents, extracts useful information, and then organizes the extracted information so that properties of those documents can be efficiently returned in response to queries.
