Index and archive all of your scanned paper documents
I hate paper. Environmental issues aside, it's a tech person's nightmare:
In the past few months I've been bitten more than a few times by the problem of not having the right document around. Sometimes I recycled a document I needed (who keeps water bills for two years?) and other times I just lost it... because paper. I wrote this to make my life easier.
Paperless does not control your scanner, it only helps you deal with what your scanner produces

In a nutshell, Papermerge is an open source document management system (DMS) primarily designed for archiving and retrieving your digital documents. Instead of having piles of paper documents all over your desk, office or drawers - you can quickly scan them and configure your scanner to directly upload to Papermerge DMS.
Papermerge DMS on its turn will OCR the document and index it. You will be able to quickly find any (scanned!) document using full text search capabilities.
You can try it with just 3 simple commands (you need git and docker-compose):
Docspell is a personal document organizer. You'll need a scanner to
convert your papers into PDF files. Docspell can then assist in
organizing the resulting mess
You can associate tags, set correspondends, what a document is concerned with, a name, a date and some more. If your documents are associated with this meta data, you should be able to quickly find them later using the search feature. But adding this manually to each document is a tedious task. What if most of it could be done automatically?
