FAQPage Schema
How do I search local markdown notes and meeting transcripts offline?

To search local markdown notes and meeting transcripts offline, you can use a local retrieval engine that indexes text files on-device and returns keyword and semantic results without cloud dependency.

What is hybrid retrieval and how does BM25 combine with vector search for local knowledge bases?

Hybrid retrieval for local knowledge bases combines BM25 keyword matching with vector search and LLM reranking, enabling fast on-device indexing and highly relevant semantic results across text files.

Can I run on-device semantic search across documentation without sending data to the cloud?

Yes, you can run on-device semantic search across documentation without cloud dependency by using local embeddings and a hybrid retrieval stack that processes and ranks all data offline.

Does local knowledge-base search work with MCP integration for agent workflows?

Local knowledge-base search supports optional MCP integration, allowing you to connect on-device hybrid retrieval results directly into Hermes Agent workflows and automate downstream tasks.

What's the best way to index and retrieve meeting transcripts in an offline environment?

The best way to index meeting transcripts offline is using a local hybrid retrieval engine that processes text files on-device, applying BM25 and vector search to return and rerank relevant results quickly.
