The debate about #localai is kinda amusing. On the one hand prudent people that want private, local inference of #opensource #llm be the norm, on the other, "AI" psychos that can no longer imagine life without access to "SOTA"
Running these gargantuan models locally is currently barely possible in high end desktops. But there is vast space of less demanding tools that we could have on #linux and we don't.
For the longest time the only project in this space has been amazing #recoll / #xapian
KDE finally fixes docs.kde.org after years of it not working!

Some days with Debian Sid it's a mistake to go 'apt upgrade'. This is one of those days. Either the apt xapian indexer has stopped working (it reports success), or synaptic has stopped using it (it logs nothing adverse), because the filter box that made synaptic usable has vanished.
Experimenting with setting up a #nixos documentation search thingy using #xapian, analogous to man-db
I have setup https://github.com/casouri/xeft
Let's see if my linking of notes improves.
@futurebird @Jirikiha You might be able to build something with #Lucene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Lucene#Lucene-based_projects) or, for a much more lightweight option, with #Xapian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xapian).
You'd still have to build something yourself from those though. For Xapian, looking at the source for #mu4e and #mu would probably be usable as a decent example (https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/).
You'd also need to figure out some way to feed data exports from those into it.
All of my suggestions are #FreeSoftware & gratis.
To add some more information here: This (German) wiki entry provides information which #Debian #packages to install to make #Recoll perform best: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Recoll/
And this article of #LinuxMagazine provides an in-depth explanation of the features of Recoll and why it should be preferred over using #Xapian directly for handling user provided search strings: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2018/212/Tutorials-Recoll
#Xapian sort une nouvelle version : https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ReleaseOverview/1.4.18
C'est surtout des modifications sur omega, l'outil d'indexation de fichier.
