  Description     : Quranic search engine

Alfanous is a Quranic search engine offers simple and advanced
 search services in the whole information that Holy Qur’an contains.
 It is based on the modern approach of information retrieval to get a
 good-stability and a high-speed search.


This project provides advanced arabic linguistic search. AFAIK,
 no open-source tool was released having same features.

I'm going to maintain it with support from upstream developer. And
I would like to get a Debian sponsor.

Currently, the Debian package is built fine in Ubuntu 16.04.
