## Introduction
eSearch is a :electron: rewrite of [information-portal](https://github.com/xushengfeng/Information-portal.git) (with a bi~~t~~llion features added by the way)
The main idea is to implement [Smartisan bigbang](https://www.smartisan.com/pr/videos/bigbang-introduction) or [Xiaomi portal](https://www.miui.com/zt/miui9/index.html) on Linux (it works on win and mac too) like **Screen Search** and of course a handy **Screenshot Software**.
After several version iterations, eSearch has become more and more functional
That is to have **Screenshot+OCR+Search+Translate+Paste Image +Search by Image+Screen Recorder**
> The font is [FiraCode](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode), the font can be set in the settings
## Download and install
Go to the website [eSearch](https://esearch.vercel.app/en.html#download) to download
Or open the releases tab on the right, select the package that matches your system and download and install it
Quick download link in China: [Releases - xushengfeng/eSearch - fastgit](https://hub.fastgit.xyz/xushengfeng/eSearch/releases)
ArchLinux can be found at AUR to install `e-search` or `e-search-git`.
winget `winget install esearch`
## OCR Services
The software does not come with a local OCR core service, but will prompt for a download when launched.
Local OCR is supported by [PaddleOCR](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR), which publishes the compiled service in [eSearch-OCR](https://github.com/xushengfeng/eSearch-OCR).
The local OCR service is enabled by default, but if you wish to use the online OCR, Baidu Online OCR is currently available and requires [a tutorial](https://cloud.baidu.com/doc/OCR/s/dk3iqnq51) to obtain the _API KEY_ and _Secret KEY_, which is still available for [free](https://cloud.baidu.com/doc/OCR/s/dk3iqnq51) as of January 2022. Fill in the _API KEY_ and _Secret KEY_ and the corresponding [_URL_](https://cloud.baidu.com/doc/OCR/s/zk3h7xz52#%E8%AF%B7%E6%B1%82%E8%AF%B4%E6%98%8E) of your chosen text recognition service into the software settings and uncheck the offline OCR box to use the online OCR.
## Run & compile the source code
Compiling requires `python` and `C++`, for Windows you need `python `and `visual studio` (to install C++)
```shell
git clone https://github.com/xushengfeng/eSearch.git
cd eSearch
npm install
# Run
npx electron .
# 编译
npm run rebuild
npm run dist
# The directory where the installer will be produced and unpacked in the build directory
```
### Modifying installed programs
First press Ctrl+Shift+I, or in the menu bar - Literacy - Developer Tools Open the developer tools for debugging. Modify the debugging to know that you are happy with it, before making changes to the source code.
```shell
# Install asar
npm install -g asar
asar e [the location prompted in the settings to run]
# Unzip and modify in the app directory
# Build the package
asar p app app.asar
# Just restart the software
```
## Launch
Open eSearch in your launcher and it will appear in the tray. Gnome users need to install the [appindicator](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/) plugin
The default shortcut is Alt+C (you can also set the shortcut in the settings)
### Shortcuts on Linux
Most Linux desktop environments support custom shortcuts. **eSearch** supports cli, which also means you can set shortcuts at system level
```shell
esearch (if you can not find it, try e-search)
-a # auto-search
-c # screen search
-s # select search
-b # clipboard search
-q # Quick screenshot
```
It is not recommended to do an automatic or selected search in the terminal, otherwise **eSearch** will perform Ctrl+C, which will cause the terminal program to terminate

## Development reasons
I've been using this great screenshot software for Windows: [Snipaste - Snip & Paste](https://www.snipaste.com/), but I've switched to Linux and Snipaste is not supported, so I've chosen [Flameshot](https://flameshot.org/), which unfortunately doesn't have an intuitive colour picker.
Another incentive for me to develop eSearch was that I enjoyed using [Smartisan bigbang](https://www.smartisan.com/pr/videos/bigbang-introduction) or [Xiaomi Portal](https://www.miui.com/zt/miui9/index.html) on my phone, but I couldn't find a similar replacement on my computer.
So I simply developed my own "screenshot + OCR + search + mapping" software. At first I developed [Information-portal](https://github.com/xushengfeng/Information-portal.git) using python+pyqt, but since I'm not familiar with pyqt, I switched to :electron: and developed this software. 😄
