Four targeted additions, no production code: The type-alias test asserted only that a query object was built, and a naive result-level replacement turned out equally vacuous for a subtle reason: document_type is itself a default search field, so a broken alias resolution demoting "type:invoice" to unfielded text STILL matches the typed document through the field value under test. Both alias tests (type/document_type, path/storage_path) now use discriminating decoys carrying the query word in content, so demotion matches the decoy and fails the exact-set assertion; the old parse-shape test is deleted. A new schema test pins that every PublicField.fast flag equals the built tantivy schema's per-field fast option, in both drift directions: whoosh-compat trusts the declared flag when resolving field:* existence checks, and build_schema() only honors it for U64 and DATE kinds, so a future fast=True TEXT/KEYWORD/JSON entry would otherwise make those searches silently match nothing at query time. Two result-level date pins restore behaviors whose assertions were lost in the test migration: a created date matches regardless of the active timezone (the America/New_York leg is the discriminating one: a tz-applying implementation shifts the window past the naive-midnight indexed value), and a reversed created:[2025 TO 2020] range still matches its span through the joint-disambiguation swap.

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.
