- The instructions suggest installing khoj-assistant via pip install.
This installs the latest tagged/release version of khoj
- To match that version user should install khoj.el from MELPA stable
instead of MELPA
- Reason
- All clients that currently consume the API are part of Khoj
- Any breaking API changes will be fixed in clients immediately
- So decoupling client from API is not required
- This removes the burden of maintaining muliple versions of the API
- Split router.py into v1.0, beta and frontend (no-prefix) api modules
under new router package. Version tag in main.py via prefix
- Update frontends to use the versioned api endpoints
- Update tests to work with versioned api endpoints
- Update docs to mentioned, reference only versioned api endpoints
In my installation, it appears that `url-request-method` is sometimes set
globally to POST. Need to explicitly set it to ensure that GET is always
used as intended.
- Prevent immediate overwrite of re-ranked results by
incremental-search without rerank triggered via post-command-hook.
- This triggers right after the reranking results are rendered, so
user never ends up seeing them
- Add docstrings, mention args in them. Make docstring crisper
- prefix funcs, variables with khoj--
- Require emacs >27.1 for json-parse-buffer
- Use lexical binding
- Add quickstart docs to elisp file itself
- Bump version of khoj.el
- Results get priority screen real estate
- Allows quick speed key based traversal of results as cursor
on switching to buffer is at top level heading
- E.g C-x o n n o 2 jumps to entry in actual file of second result
- Unlike before when it is at the #+STARTUP org buffer customization
settings
- Follow convention, two hyphens indicate variable private to library
- Defcustom are user configurable variables. So they should have single -
- Use khoj-results-count variable directly in code
- Fix regression since moving to use `which-key-show-full-keymap~
- The above function reads user keypress, so eats up 1 keypress
before starting to enter query
- No way to pass no-paging config via the external function to the
internally used which-key--show-keymap function that does allow
setting no-paging to not read user keypress
- So use the internal function instead and set no-paging arg to t
- The keybindings to select search types was previously confusing as
it only highlighted the final symbol to press (the C-x was shown but
it wasn't made apparent that it had to be pressed before)
- Previously some keybindings unrelated to khoj were also being shown
in the which-key popup. Now only the khoj keybindings are visible
- More generally, this allows configuring the khoj search anytime
while in khoj minibuffer window
- Earlier could only configure search type at the start of the search
- What
- Default to last used search type, when no search type specified
- Allow user to change search type before they enter query (and
after they've called khoj), if they want
- Why
- Reduce time from intent to results by using reasonable defaults
- Make interactions smoother, more intuitive
Currently only get into this state when debug breakpoints on backend
are keeping the connection open and user exits khoj search from Emacs
Results in a number of open connections that slow khoj down.
- Makes it easier to fold/unfold, traverse and read results
- This 2 level nesting is already being used on the web interface
- Previously we were using the original nesting depth of the entry.
This was aimed at providing more of the orginal context of the
results. But currently this additional information does not provide
as much, for the decreased legibility of the results
In current state:
- Rerank results:
- If user idles while entering query OR
- exits normally
- Do not rerank results:
- If user exits abnormally, e.g via C-g from query
- Rename functions to more standard, descriptive names
- Keep known, required code for incremental search
- E.g Do not set buffer local flag in hooks on minibuffer setup
- Only query when user in khoj minibuffer
- Use active-minibuffer-window and track khoj minibuffer
- (minibuffer-prompt) is not useful for our use-case here
- (For now) Run re-rank only if user idle while querying
- Do not run rerank on teardown/completion
- The reranking lag (~2s) is annoying; hit enter,
wait to see results
- Also triggered when user exits abnormally,
so C-g also results in rerank which is even more annoying
- Emacs will still hang if re-ranking gets triggered on idle but
that's better than always getting triggered. And better than not
having mechanism to get results re-ranked via cross-encoder at all
- Update khoj-simple to work cross-encoder re-ranked results like before
- Increment major version as incremental search considered a breaking
change and a major update to search capability
- Reason:
Allow natural search on markdown based notes, documentation,
websites etc
- Details:
- Create markdown processor to extract Markdown entries (identified by
Heading) into standard jsonl format required by text_search
- Update API, Configs to support interfacing with new markdown type
- Update Emacs, Web clients to support interfacing with new markdown
type via API
- Update Readme to mentiond markdown is also supported
Closes#35
- Had already made some progress on this earlier by updating the image
search responses. But needed to update the text search responses to
use lowercase entry and score
- Update khoj.el to consume the updated json response keys for text
search
