- 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.
- Support querying with text surrounding point in any text buffer
Previously could only find items similar to org entry at point
- Find similar items of specified content type indexed on khoj
Previously only looked for similar org entries indexed on khoj
Now uses the content-type configured in khoj transient menu to find
items of the specified content type
- Details
- Generalize the get-current-org-entry-text func to get text for any
outline section
- Replace leading whitespaces from query text as well
- Create method to get current paragraph text from non-outline mode
buffers
- Update transient, find-similar funcs to pass, use content-type
configured in khoj transient menu
- Generalize query title creation logic to remove markdown headings
prefix (#) apart from org heading prefix (*) as well
- Update last used khoj content-type and results from the
find-similar and update funcs for later reuse
- Jump to top of results buffer after results rendered
Enable searching for notes similar to the current note being viewed
## Main Changes
- 39a18e2 Extend search modal to search for similar notes
- Hide input field on init, Trigger search on opening modal when in similar notes mode
- Set input to contents of current markdown file and get notes similar to it
- Re-rank, by default, when searching for similar notes
- Filter out current note from similar note search results
- 0bed410 Only show `Find Similar Note' command in Editor
- Hide input field on init, Trigger search on opening modal in similar notes mode
- Set input to current markdown file and get similar notes to it
- Enable rerank when searching for similar notes
- Filter out current note from similar note search results
- Screenshot querying "Setup Editor" on test vault with Khoj Readmes
- New features showcase:
- information keybindings, rerank keybinding at bottom of modal
- fixed top level headings in search results
- search results snipped if greater than N words
Provides a more consistent rendering of results in modal.
Makes it easier to see more results in modal.
To see complete entry, user can always just jump to entry from modal
### Overview
- Provide a chat interface to engage with and inquire your notes
- Simplify interacting with the beta `chat` and `summarize` APIs
### Use
- Open `<khoj-url>/chat`, by default at http://localhost:8000/chat?type=summarize
- Type your queries, see summarized response by Khoj from your notes
**Note**:
- **You will need to add an API key from OpenAI to your khoj.yml**
- **Your query and top note from search result will be sent to OpenAI for processing**
## Details
- 177756b Show chat history on loading chat page on web interface
- d8ee0f0 Save chat history to disk for persistence, seeing chat logs
- 5294693 Style chat messages as speech bubbles
- d170747 Add khoj web interface and chat styling to new chat page on khoj web
- de6c146 Implement functional, unstyled chat page for khoj web interface
- Wrap messages into speech bubbles
- Color messages by khoj blue, sender grey
- Add those standard protrusions to the speech bubbles for fun
- Align bubbles left or right based on sender
- messages by khoj are left aligned, message by self are right aligned
- Put message metadata like sender and time under speech bubble
- use data-* attribute and ::after css pseudo-selector for this
- Update renderMessage func to accept time param, remove unused type_ param
- Changes
- Use blue color for khoj heading font
- This fixes the title color issue
- Update background to lighter shade
- This fixes the body text color issue
- Update colors for todo, done, miscellaneous todo state, tag color
- This does not fix the color contrast issue but seems like an acceptable solution
- Using white text rather than black text on blue background
better even though the black text on blue background passes the
WCAG acceptable contrast score
- For details see blog post:
https://uxmovement.com/buttons/the-myths-of-color-contrast-accessibility/
- Add border to tags to give them tag pills look and differntiate
from todo states
- Buttons and inputs
- Change background color of input fields like type dropdown,
update button and results count counter, to match background
color of page
- Add shadow on hover over button, dropdowns
Resolves#111
- Ensure message input box sticks to bottom of screen
- Ensure chat logs div is scrollable when logs become longer than screen
Do not make the whole page scroll, just the chat logs body div
Uses longest file path match to find markdown file in vault
corresponding to file of search result returned by Khoj
Allow jumping to search result from khoj plugin modal on Android too
Previous mechanism of manually triggering getSuggestions,
renderSuggestions flow was corrupting traversing and opening
reranked search results in KhojModal
Emulate event that would anyway trigger the get & render of results in
modal. This lets obsidian core handle the flow without digging too
deep into obsidian cores handling of the flow. Lowers the chance of
breakage
We need the index file paths to make sense on the khoj backend server
Having path of index on backend relative to current vault directory
on frontend ignores the fact that the frontend maybe on a different
machine than the khoj backend server
Using unique index name per vault allows switching vaults without
overwriting indices of other vaults created on khoj backend when khoj
obsidian plugin is loaded on opening a different vault
- Overview
Limits using Khoj with a single vault at a time. This is
automatically configured to the most recently opened vault.
Once directory filters are supported on backend, the plugin will be
updated to index multiple vault but search only current vault from
current vaults khoj obsidian plugin
- Code Details
- Remove setting to configure Vault directory from Khoj Obsidian plugin
- Automatically configure Khoj to index only current Vault.
- Overwrites any previous vaults that were intended to be indexed by
Khoj backend
- Force update of index after configuring vault
- Why
It's not helpful for now and can lead to more problems, confusion.
Once directory filters
- Only show notification on plugin load and failure.
- In settings page, set current backend status at top of pane instead
of showing notification
Notices bubbles cluttered the UI while typing updates to settings
- Show notification once index updated via settings pane button click
There was no notification on index updated, which usually takes time
on the backend
- Display warning at top of khoj obsidian plugin settings
- Make search command available only if connected to backend
- Show warning notice on clicking khoj search ribbon button
- Call saveData after configureKhojBackend to ensure
connnectedToBackend setting saved after being (potentially) updated
in configureKhojBackend function
- Previously the plugin would not load if cannot connect to Khoj backend
- Silently failing to load with no reason provided is not helpful
- Load plugin to allow user to fix the Khoj URL in their plugin setting
- Show reason for khoj plugin not working. More helpful than failing silently
Fix usage warning for unescaped single quote in `khoj.el' docstring.
Converts usage of '<text>' into `<text>' to use the correct quote forms in generated docs
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:119:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:120:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:121:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:168:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
- Features
- Search using Khoj from within the Obsidian app
Allow Natural language search on your (markdown) notes in Obsidian Vault
- Show search results as rendered (instead of raw) Markdown
Improve legibility of the results
- Jump to selected note from search result in Khoj search modal
Simplify seeing result within its original note context
- Automatically configure khoj to index markdown files in current vault
Reduce khoj setup steps for plugin users by using reasonable defaults
- Code updates the markdown config in khoj.yml and triggers index update
- It can be configured by user in khoj plugin settings, if required
- Add Demo and detailed Readme for the Obsidian plugin
Ease setup and usage. Give context about capabilities
- Miscellaneous
- Trying keep a mono repo until the Khoj project is mature enough
to reduce maintainance burden
- 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
Update readme to ask user to install khoj.el from MELPA when a
pre-release version of the main khoj app is installed. Else install
khoj.el from MELPA Stable
- 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.
- Simplify tracking khoj query history, saving/sharing links
- Do not execute search, when query only contains whitespaces
- Prevents error when try process results of empty query
- As `/reload` updates index incrementally, it's relatively quick
- This makes exposing `/reload` endpoint a better default to expose
via the web interface than `the /regenerate' endpoint
