SmartLS (Smart Localsearch)

Welcome to Smart Localsearch application for Windows.

This Application (C#, WPF, Visual Studio) helps to search local documents using Elasticsearch. The application can also take an image as query (an image with text, this text is extracted using Tesseract OCR and is used as query).
