<div id="bkmrk-lumifind-is-designed"><div>LumiFind is designed for maximum flexibility and customization, just like other MIDILLI products. We build tools that we use ourselves every day, ensuring they meet real-world needs and deliver a seamless experience.</div><div>  
</div><div>Here are the features we have so far. The list may be incomplete:</div>

- **AI-powered semantic search:** Finds files by meaning, not just filename.
- **No expertise needed:** Welcome Wizard helps you start optimal, with a few clicks.
- **100% offline and private:** All processing happens on your device. No cloud, no tracking.
- **Multi-language support:** Search and results in 100+ languages.
- **Built-in OCR:** Scanned documents are not a dead end — LumiFind falls back to OCR when a PDF has no selectable text, and can even read text directly out of images.
- **Bring your own model:** Not locked into ours — use any compatible Hugging Face model for documents, images or voice.
- **Supported file types:**
    - Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, TXT, MD, RTF, ODT, EPUB, HTML
    - Images: JPG, PNG, JPEG
    - Audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, OPUS, WMA, AIFF

    - Email messages: EML and MSG emails, including attachments
    - Source code
    - Compressed files: Extract and analyze documents inside ZIP and TAR archives (.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz2)
- **Lightning fast:** Searches millions of files in seconds.
- **No cloud uploads:** Your files are never sent to the cloud.
- **Cross-platform:** Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- **GPU acceleration:** Have a capable graphics card? LumiFind can use it for noticeably faster indexing and searching.
- **Console support:** Works as a console application for remote servers without displays.
- **Network &amp; cloud drive support:** Can analyze mapped drives (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.).
- **Excluding folders:** Exclude one or more sub-folders to prevent LumiFind from analyzing these.
- **Adding individual files for tracking:** If you also have files scattered around your computer, you can also analyze them one-by-one and include during search.
- **Incremental analysis:** Only new or changed files are analyzed.
- **Pause/Resume analysis:** If it will take too long, you can temporarily pause and continue later.
- **Checkpoints and backups:** In case of unexpected interruptions or computer restarts, resume where you left off.
- **Moved/renamed file detection:** Automatically detects moved or renamed files.
- **File watching:** If changes detected on the folders or individual files, analysis can be automatically started.
- **Metadata search:** Want to search for a file and you know its name or (partially) its path? LumiFind can also act as operating system's own search, but much faster.
- **Search photos by location:** Thanks to EXIF geocoding, find photos by where they were taken — type a country or city name, even in your own language. Or the Camera model.
- **Object detection in videos:** LumiFind analyzes video frames and recognizes objects in them, so you can search for scenes, not just filenames.
- **Spelling mistake tolerance:** Finds files even with typos.
- **Context understanding:** Understands context, not just keywords.
- **One-time license:** No subscription. Pay once, use forever.
- **Transferable device license:** Move your license to a new device.
- **Optional common analysis data:** If you have multiple users of same files, you can just analyze once and use together.

- **Automatic updates:** Built-in updater checks for new versions and installs them for you.
- **User-friendly interface:** Fast, modern, and easy to use.
- **Demo &amp; documentation:** Video demo and comprehensive [user manual](https://docs.midilli.tech/books/lumifind-user-guide) available.
