### Overview
- Add ability to push data to index from the Emacs, Obsidian client
- Switch to standard mechanism of syncing files via HTTP multi-part/form. Previously we were streaming the data as JSON
- Benefits of new mechanism
- No manual parsing of files to send or receive on clients or server is required as most have in-built mechanisms to send multi-part/form requests
- The whole response is not required to be kept in memory to parse content as JSON. As individual files arrive they're automatically pushed to disk to conserve memory if required
- Binary files don't need to be encoded on client and decoded on server
### Code Details
### Major
- Use multi-part form to receive files to index on server
- Use multi-part form to send files to index on desktop client
- Send files to index on server from the khoj.el emacs client
- Send content for indexing on server at a regular interval from khoj.el
- Send files to index on server from the khoj obsidian client
- Update tests to test multi-part/form method of pushing files to index
#### Minor
- Put indexer API endpoint under /api path segment
- Explicitly make GET request to /config/data from khoj.el:khoj-server-configure method
- Improve emoji, message on content index updated via logger
- Don't call khoj server on khoj.el load, only once khoj invoked explicitly by user
- Improve indexing of binary files
- Let fs_syncer pass PDF files directly as binary before indexing
- Use encoding of each file set in indexer request to read file
- Add CORS policy to khoj server. Allow requests from khoj apps, obsidian & localhost
- Update indexer API endpoint URL to` index/update` from `indexer/batch`
Resolves#471#243
New URL query params, `force' and `t' match name of query parameter in
existing Khoj API endpoints
Update Desktop, Obsidian and Emacs client to call using these new API
query params. Set `client' query param from each client for telemetry
visibility
New URL follows action oriented endpoint naming convention used for
other Khoj API endpoints
Update desktop, obsidian and emacs client to call this new API
endpoint
- Keep state of previously synced files to identify files to be deleted
- Last synced files stored in settings for persistence of this data
across Obsidian reboots
Use the multi-part/form-data request to sync Markdown, PDF files in
vault to index on khoj server
Run scheduled job to push updates to value for indexing every 1 hour
This prevents Khoj from polling the Khoj server until explicitly
invoked via `khoj' entrypoint function.
Previously it'd make a request to the khoj server every time Emacs or
khoj.el was loaded
Closes#243
- Make `bump_version.sh' script set version for the Khoj desktop app too
- Sync Khoj desktop app authors, license, description and version with
the other interfaces and server
- Update description in packages metadata to match project subtitle on Github
- Pass payloads as unibyte. This was causing the request to fail for
files with unicode characters
- Suppress messages with file content in on index updates
- Fix rendering response from server on index update API call
- Extract code to populate body of index update HTTP request with files
Previously global state of `url-request-method' would affect the
kind of request made to api/config/data API endpoint as it wasn't
being explicitly being set before calling the API endpoint
This was done with the assumption that the default value of GET for
url-request-method wouldn't change globally
But in some cases, experientially, it can get changed. This was
resulting in khoj.el load failing as POST request was being made
instead which would throw error
- Add elisp variable to set API key to engage with the Khoj server
- Use multi-part form to POST the files to index to the indexer API
endpoint on the khoj server
- Improves user experience by aligning idle time with search latency
to avoid display jitter (to render results) while user is typing
- Makes the idle time configurable

- If stream is disabled, return a JSON response with the response/compiled references separated out
- Correspondingly, update the chat.html UI to use the streamed API, as well as Obsidian
- Rename chat/init/ to chat/history
* Update khoj.el to use the /history endpoint
- Update corresponding unit tests to use stream=true
* Remove & from call to /chat for obsidian
* Abstract functions out into a helpers.py file and clean up some of the error-catching
- What
- Stream chat responses from OpenAI API to Web, Obsidian clients
- Implement using a callback function which manages a queue where new tokens can be placed as they come on. As the thread is read from, tokens are removed.
- When the final token has been processed, add the `compiled_references` to the queue to be rendered by the `chat` client
- When the thread has been closed, save the accumulated conversation log in the user's history using a `partial func`
- Incrementally decode tokens on the front end and add them as they appear from the streamed response
- Why
This significantly reduces perceived latency and OpenAI API request timeouts for Chat
Closes https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/257
- I needed to installed node-fetch to accomplish this, as the built-in request object from Obsidian doesn't seem to support streaming and the built-in fetch object is very sensitive to any and all cross origin requests
Removing unused content types will reduce khoj code to manage
- 0f993b3 Drop support for Ledger as a separate content type
Khoj will soon get a generic text indexing content type in Index plain text files #237.
This along with a file filter should suffice for searching through Ledger transactions
- c9db532 Remove unused org-music as an indexable content type from Khoj
Org-music was just a custom content type that worked with org-music.
It was mostly only useful for me.
Khoj will soon get a generic text indexing content type. This along
with a file filter should suffice for searching through Ledger
transactions, if required.
Having a specific content type for niche use-case like ledger isn't
useful. Removing unused content types will reduce khoj code to manage.
Org-music was just a custom content type that worked with org-music.
It was mostly only useful for me.
Cleaning up that code will reduce number of content types for khoj to
manage.
- Previously Khoj could only support Python upto 3.10 due to pytorch.
But lots of folks had python 3.11 installed by default on their machines.
This required installing python 3.10 and dealing with virtual envs.
With Torch >= 2.0.1 now able to support python 3.11, at least one
class of installation troubles for Khoj should drop. See
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/86566 for reference
- Preliminary testing indicates using the new torch 2.x may reduce
search time by 25% (from 80ms to 60ms on Mac M1)
- Update Docs to not require mentioning python <=3.10 required
- Update Github test workflow to run khoj tests with python 3.11 too
If no content-type selected in transient menu option, khoj.el queries
khoj server without content-type parameter (t) set.
This results in search across all enabled asymmetric search text
content types
- Make plugin update khoj server config to index PDF files in vault too
- Make Obsidian plugin update index for PDF files in vault too
- Show PDF results in Khoj Search modal as well
- Ensure combined results are sorted by score across both types
- Jump to PDF file when select it PDF search result from modal
- cl-push expects a generatlized variable. Else throws (setf quote)
undefined warning
- This results in the config call failing on calling khoj entrypoint
- Remove waiting for server message as it hides the messages from the
server
- Fix the nil message that were being rendered, by checking before
showing messages from server
- Consistently prefix messages from khoj with khoj.el
Previously khoj.el was calling the server configure API even when
config was same as before.
This had broken the khoj search as you type experience from emacs
Also show more details to user about what in khoj is being configured
Resolves#185, #199
- Issue
IndexName created from Obsidian Absolute Vault path wasn't replacing
windows path, drive separators with underscore. It was only
replacing unix path separators
- Fix
Also replace windows drive and path separators with _ while creating
IndexName in Khoj Obsidian plugin
Makes it easier to tell pip associated with which python is being
used. Easier to debug when users have different versions of python
installed (e.g 3.10 and 3.11)
This follows expected behavior for obsidain search modals
E.g Ominsearch and default Obsidian search.
The note creation code is borrowed from Omnisearch.
Resolves#133
- Give space in the input field. Too narrow previously
- References should be indexed from 1 instead of 0
- Use Obsidian font size variables to scale fonts in chat appropriately
- Add message sender, date metadata as message footer
- Use css directly from Khoj Chat Web Interface.
- Modify it to work under a Obsidian modal
- So replace html, body styling from web interface to instead
styling new "khoj-chat" class attached to contentEl of modal
Converts paths to glob style regexes that will index all org files
recursively under the specified list of path
Should help setup for org-roam users from khoj.el
- khoj-auto-setup controls whether to automatically check for and
setup khoj server from within Emacs
- extract install, start, configure sequence into public, interactive
method. Allows calling khoj-setup during package load via init.el
- Fix: Do not attempt to configure or wait for server ready if
user has said no to auto-setup request
- Fix logic to mark server started vs ready
- Previously the started/running vs ready variables defs were getting
intertwined
- Server started indicates server bootup has been triggered
- Server ready indicates server API ready to accept requests
- If khoj server started outside emacs, khoj--server-ready should be set
to true by khoj--server-running method (instead of waiting for proc msg)
- If khoj server is unconfigured the /config/types endpoint wouldn't
return anything. Using config/data/default allows checking khoj server
running status without requiring it to be configured as well
If the config hasn't changed there'll be no update. If config has
changed indexing will get triggered asynchronously. But user cannot
make query till indexing done
As easier to know when server ready to configure
- Use process filter, sentinel to mark when khoj server is ready or not
- Display server messages for visibility into server boot-up process
- Wait until server ready to open khoj transient menu in Emacs
Until then khoj features wouldn't work anyway, so avoids confusion
- Remove the need to split by magic string in emacs and chat interfaces
- Move compiling references into string as context for GPT to GPT layer
- Update setup in tests to use new style of setting references
- Name first argument to converse as more appropriate "references"
- Render references as superscript
- Show reference definitions on hover over reference links to ease access
- Truncate reference def shown on hover to 70 char
- Add continuation suffix, ..., when reference definition truncated
- Style Message as Org Entries instead of List
- Put khoj response as child of user query entry
- Improves color coding for readability
- Allows folding each back-n-forth
- Put timestamp of message received into property drawer
- Use standardized time format for new and old chat messages
- Generalize the render-chat-response method to handle rendering
history or chat response from chat API reponse
- Trigger rendering of khoj chat history if Khoj chat buffer not
created for this session yet
- Use org-insert-link method to improve link rendering robustness
Previous simple mechanism to crete org-links would result in links
escaping out of formating. Use a user-facing org-mode method to
remove/reduce probability of this
- Replace newlines with space to render reference notes as links
- Query khoj chat API to get Khoj Chat response to user message
- Render chat messages as a org-mode list in format:
- [sender-name]: *[message]*
- /[receive-date]/
- Add references as org links with context visible on hover,
but no jump to note
- Require dash library for khoj.el to simplify list manipulation.
Use `-map-indexed' method from dash
- Issue
The file path separator by khoj server and the Obsidian vault were
different on Windows
- Fix
Normalize file path to use forward slash(/) to find the matching
note file in the Obsidian vault for jump to it
Resolves#177
- Remove need for interfaces to downcase content types returned by API
before using the type in search and other API endpoint
- Fix to check for search_type.name in plugin keys instead of value
- What
- The Emacs and Obsidian interfaces stay in their original
directories under src/
- src/khoj now only contains code meant for pypi packaging
- Benefits
- This avoids having to update khoj MELPA, Obsidian plugin config as
the Emacs, Obsidian code is under their original directories
- It separates the code in src/khoj meant for python packaging from
code for external interfaces like Emacs and Obsidian
- Why
The khoj pypi packages should be installed in `khoj' directory.
Previously it was being installed into `src' directory, which is a
generic top level directory name that is discouraged from being used
- Changes
- move src/* to src/khoj/*
- update `setup.py' to `find_packages' in `src' instead of project root
- rename imports to form `from khoj.*' in complete project
- update `constants.web_directory' path to use `khoj' directory
- rename root logger to `khoj' in `main.py'
- fix image_search tests to use the newly rename `khoj' logger
- update config, docs, workflows to reference new path `src/khoj'
- By default the obsidian plugin automatically configures the khoj
backend to index the current vault
- For more complex scenarios, users can manage their ~/.khoj/khoj.yml
manually by toggling the auto-configure setting off in the khoj
plugin settings
Resolves#156
Khoj plugin page from within Obsidian isn't recognized. Seems like it
needs an uppercase readme file only. So it doesn't show the Khoj
readme from within Obsidian itself.
- Update khoj.el test to reflect updated rendering logic
- Move ledger render function before image rendered to group functions
with similar logic closer
Split find file, jump to file code to make onChooseSuggestion more readable
- Use find, instead of using return in forEach to get first match
- Move the jump to file+heading code out from forEach
Do not reference global app object from child objects and funcs
directly.
It is only available for debugging purposes and access to it maybe
dropped in the future.
