FAQPage Schema
How do I search local notes and transcripts by concept instead of exact phrasing?

To search local notes by concept, you can use a hybrid retriever that combines BM25 keyword search, vector search, and LLM reranking. This blends semantic understanding with exact matching to locate relevant documents across your local knowledge base.

What is hybrid retrieval and how does it improve local knowledge base search?

Hybrid retrieval combines BM25, vector search, and LLM reranking to improve local knowledge base search. It merges exact keyword matching with semantic understanding, then uses a language model to rank results for higher relevance.

Can I search personal documents on macOS without cloud dependencies?

Yes, you can search personal documents on macOS without cloud dependencies using a local search engine. It operates entirely on-device across local knowledge bases, notes, and meeting transcripts, ensuring data privacy.

Does MCP integration work for local document search and retrieval?

Yes, MCP integration works for local document search and retrieval. It connects the local hybrid search engine to agent workflows, allowing tool access to query personal knowledge bases and retrieve ranked results.

What is the best way to find a specific meeting note across a local knowledge base?

The best way to find a specific meeting note is using a local hybrid search engine. It applies BM25, vector search, and LLM reranking to quickly locate project documents or transcripts by concept rather than exact phrasing.

What are the limitations of using BM25 and vector search for personal notes?

BM25 and vector search for personal notes require local installation on macOS or Linux. While LLM reranking improves result accuracy, the system operates entirely locally without cloud dependencies, which may limit processing speed on lower-end devices.
