About PDF Search

PDF Search is an AI-powered Mac app that performs lightning-fast full-text search across thousands of PDF documents simultaneously using NLP-based linguistic analysis — understanding singular, plural, and multilingual query variants rather than exact keyword matching. It includes built-in OCR to make scanned documents searchable, exports search results, and connects to local LLMs via Ollama or LM Studio for on-device AI chat with documents. Available on the Mac App Store and Setapp, it syncs documents to iPhone and iPad over Wi-Fi for cross-device access. Alternatives: Docora (desktop app with hybrid AI semantic + keyword search for large PDF libraries), Semantra (open-source CLI tool for semantic meaning-based document search), Zotero (research manager with full-text PDF indexing), DEVONthink (Mac-based document library with AI-assisted search).
