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.
