SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Vane Search enables local, citation-backed information retrieval by querying a locally deployed Vane service and returning results with sources and summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local deployment with a fast, configurable search backend (SearxNG) combined with embedding-based reordering and LLM summarization to produce citations.
  • Supports multiple sources (web, academic, Reddit) and three depth modes (speed, balanced, quality) for flexible research workflows.
  • Use case examples include: conducting literature reviews, competitive research, and structured information gathering with cited sources.

Quick Start

Query the local vane API with a question and return a cited summary from the configured sources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get citation-backed search results from a locally deployed LLM service?

Citation-backed search results are generated by querying a local Vane service, which uses SearxNG, embedding-based reordering, and LLM summarization to return answers with source references.

Can I use local search for academic literature reviews and Reddit information gathering?

Local search supports academic literature reviews and Reddit information gathering by querying web, academic, and Reddit sources, returning LLM-generated summaries with cited references.

What is the best way to control search depth for complex research questions?

Search depth for complex research questions is controlled using three configurable modes: speed, balanced, and quality, allowing flexible workflows for information retrieval and deep analysis.

How does embedding-based reordering work for information retrieval?

Embedding-based reordering in information retrieval improves result relevance by reorganizing SearxNG search outputs before LLM summarization, ensuring the most pertinent sources are cited.

Do I need a local API endpoint to run citation-backed searches?

A local API endpoint at http://localhost:3010/api/search is required to run citation-backed searches, with an accompanying web UI at http://localhost:3010 for direct interaction.

When should I not use a local search deployment for deep analysis?

Local search deployment for deep analysis is not suitable when external API access is restricted or when the hardware cannot support local LLM summarization and embedding processing workloads.
