iPhone local search video

Posted: June 25th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Handhelds | Tags: , | No Comments »

I made a video of searching my iPhone loaded with over 2000 PDFs from MIT’s OpenCourseWare. The search engine, Hyper Estraier,  is the same one used on gnu.org but running locally on the iPhone together with a local lighttpd web server. It performs very well and provides a nice way of accessing or iPhone when on your daily commute!

I have not had time to look at packaging this but here is a tarball of the build which you can untar in the root directory. It will place everything in /opt/iphone

Hyper Estraier on the iPhone

Posted: May 15th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Handhelds | Tags: | No Comments »

I managed to get Hyper Estraier running with lighttpd on my iPhone. This provides a nice way to load the device with documents and have a simple search interface for accessing them. It is part of a larger project I am working on. I will try and package it soon or simply release a tarball of the build.
