Four pieces of the same surface: whoosh-compat's emit() documents a two-part host contract: both a parse diagnostic and the QueryEmitError/UnsupportedQueryError pair are user-input errors. Only the latter half was caught; QueryEmitError now maps to SearchQueryError too. Messages pass through a cleanup that strips the library's DIVERGENCES.md references and replaces the fast=True host-configuration advice with user language, so no library-internal vocabulary reaches a searching user. The bulk selection paths (bulk edit, the legacy bulk endpoint, bulk download) reached the backend with no SearchQueryError handler, so a bad date or number in a selection filter raised straight to a DRF 500. They now share the search list endpoint's exact mapping (a new search_query_error_messages helper flattens MultipleSearchQueryErrors in one place), returning the same 400 body for the same bad query. QueryParserError means a whoosh-compat parser bug, not user-fixable input, per its own contract; the list endpoint's blanket handler was converting it to a generic 400. It now re-raises and surfaces as a 500 that monitoring can see. All behavior is pinned test-first: bulk edit and bulk download API tests assert 400s naming the bad value (previously unhandled exceptions), a unit test pins the QueryEmitError mapping, three parametrized checks assert no internal vocabulary leaks for the unsupported query shapes, and a mocked parser-bug test asserts the 500.

Paperless-ngx
Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.
Paperless-ngx is the official successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects and is designed to distribute the responsibility of advancing and supporting the project among a team of people. Consider joining us!
Thanks to the generous folks at DigitalOcean, a demo is available at demo.paperless-ngx.com using login demo / demo. Note: demo content is reset frequently and confidential information should not be uploaded.

Features
A full list of features and screenshots are available in the documentation.
Getting started
The easiest way to deploy paperless is docker compose. The files in the /docker/compose directory are configured to pull the image from the GitHub container registry.
If you'd like to jump right in, you can configure a docker compose environment with our install script:
bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/main/install-paperless-ngx.sh)"
More details and step-by-step guides for alternative installation methods can be found in the documentation.
Migrating from Paperless-ng is easy, just drop in the new docker image! See the documentation on migrating for more details.

Important Note
Document scanners are typically used to scan sensitive documents like your social insurance number, tax records, invoices, etc. Paperless-ngx should never be run on an untrusted host because information is stored in clear text without encryption. No guarantees are made regarding security (but we do try!) and you use the app at your own risk. The safest way to run Paperless-ngx is on a local server in your own home with backups in place.
