We currently work on a GUI for the additional software feature in Tails. This feature allows to better choose which package to install to a Tails device on top of the default software.

It's great that we'll have this working once Tails is based on Debian Buster; once we're there users who need such functionality can install tracker and friends via Additional Software Packages.

Screenshots, Catfish and Pfilesearch.

Re: [Tails-dev] Searching documents in an airgap Tails
Hi, I had some discussions with some of the people supporting the journalists working on the Snowden archives and journalists using tools. Some of them are custom written and only do one job, take out all the "speaker notes" for example in powerpoint presentations (don't ask). Most of that stuff isn't packaged in Debian and they have to install it themselves. The discussion we had maybe in the open or maybe in the backchannels was, could we maintain some kind of "journalist pack" for persistence where we package these tools somewhat and these things install when you setup your persistence. We would also maintain some sort of deb repo for this. Maybe this could even be a way to get some funding in from bigger organisations and a way to support them in software! (crazy thought) I don't think we reached any conclusion or actionable points so thanks for starting this discussion again and I hope my blurp is good for something.

GNOME Files search[1] is based on Tracker[2] and supports a number of formats. Unless I'm mistaken it would require an upgrade to nautilus 3.26[3] to get full text search. Tails 3.3 has nautilus 3.22 and after upgrading to 3.26.2 (from Debian GNU/Linux sid with apt-get install nautilus tracker tracker-extract tracker-miner-fs) it worked with a simple manual test. Even if nautilus is not the best full text search it would be a great improvement :-) Do you think such an upgrade would be possible ?

What about GNOME Files' built-in search functionality [1]? It works well enough for me (although I can imagine it is slow if 1000s of files are involved) so I first would like that answered before proceeding with the rest of your email.
