kensaku alternatives

yjid/kensaku (155 stars, +155 this week): Search inside documents, code, and even screenshots - instantly and locally.

Below are 7 other repos tracked by OSS Radar that share GitHub topics with kensaku: 5 from MCP sharing at least two, and 2 from other categories sharing at least three topics about what they do (platform, language and framework tags don't count), two of them niche rather than broad ones like llm, ordered by how closely their topics overlap (rarer shared topics count more), then by stars gained in the last 7 days. Topic overlap means a similar problem space, not a drop-in replacement, so check each project's README.
