OneSearch 1.3 makes file indexing run on real intervals

OneSearch 1.3.0 updates a search tool for files already sitting on a personal server or storage setup. It can index mounted NAS folders, , and old project folders in place, then make them searchable through a web page or CLI. It is not meant to replace Paperless, Nextcloud, Recoll, or OpenSearch.

It is aimed at files that do not need a full document-management system but still need to be easy to find. An earlier version added a friendlier schedule screen where people could choose minutes, hours, or days instead of writing cron rules. That still followed cron clock times in the , so “every 6 hours” ran at fixed times such as midnight, 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m.

Version 1.3.0 now uses interval triggers, so “every 6 hours” means six hours after the setting is saved. The cron option remains, and Settings now includes a global default schedule that sources can use instead of each source needing its own schedule.
