    On the mac, you can check out Pandora. It is not Open Source, but it is really excellent. http://www.positivespinmedia.com/shareware/Pandora/


    I will put up a review on OStatic shortly.

    Here's a simple Ruby script that will allow you to do it as well - http://crunchlife.com/articles/2007/08/13/code-snippet-ruby-image-scrape...

    Hi,


    If your requirements are not web-based Google Picasa is a free and will searh your hard-drive for the images. I believe it allows you to all meta-data (comments) to the images & gives you the ability to publish them online.

    If your web site is already up and google indexed, you can run an advanced google search on it.

    You may try X1, Copernic or Google Desktop Search.


    I will pick one between X1 and Copernic though preferably Copernic.


    There are a few open source options like Regain but they are cumbersome and not too fit (as GDS) for home use.


    X1: http://www.x1.com

    Copernic: http://www.Copernic.com


    And GDS just google! ;)

    Try Riya.com. it is an object based search engine, it searches images and objects.
