- 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
- What
- Convert the config screen into the main application window
with configuration as just one of the functionality it provides
- Rename config screen to main window to match new designation
- Why
- System Tray isn't available everywhere (e.g Linux)
- This requires moving functionality into a normal window for cross-compat
- Start evolving configure screen away from just being a configure screen
- Update Window Title to just say Khoj
- Allow Opening Web Interface to Search from Khoj configure screen
- Rename "Start" Button to more accurate "Configure"
- Disable Search button on first run and while configuring app
- Issue
- In the previous form, updates to self.current_config would update
default_config as python does a shallow copy
- So self.current_config is just referencing the values of default_config
- Hence updates to current_config updates the default_config values too
- This is not what we want
- Fix
- Deep copy the default_config values. Now updates to
self.current_config wouldn't affect the default_config
- Generating embeddings takes time
- If user enables a content type and clicks start.
The app starts to generate embeddings when loading the new settings
- Run this function in a separate thread to keep config screen responsive
- But disable start button to prevent re-entrant threads
- Also show a minimal visual indication that the app is saving state
- Convert Input Fields into PlainTextEdit
- Display Each Selected File on a Separate Line in Field
- Set Height of FileBrowser Input Field based on Number of Lines/Files
- This fixes the field expanding when configure screen is expanded
- Allows for reusability of the labelled text field
- Simplifies the logic to save settings for conversation processor
- Avoid having to pass the khoj_sample.yml data file into pip, native apps
- Packaging data files into python packages is annoying.
- There's `MANIFEST.in`, `data_files` and `package_data` in setup.py
- Bdist, wheel, generated source tarball use different set of these fields
and put the data files in different locations
- Rather just code the default config into a constant. Avoid
pointless file reads as well this way
- Include khoj_sample.yml in pip package to load default config from
- Create khoj config directory if it doesn't exist
- Load config from khoj_sample.yml if khoj.yml config doesn't exist
Conflicts:
- src/main.py
- router functions have moved to router
- move logic to handle null query perf timer variables into
router.py
- set main.py to current branch, not master
- If a user manually edits the input file lines, clicking start should
use that. Currently it just looks at the files selected last via file
browser
- We want to allow users to manually enter file paths in field. Which
is why the field hasn't been set to read-only
- Track current (saved/loaded) config separate from the new config (to
be written) when user clicks Start
- Fallback to using default config when no config for the specific
content type or processor is specified in khoj.yml
- Earlier were only loading default config on first run, not after
- Create Child CheckBox, LineEdit classes for Processor Widgets
- Create ProcessorType, similar to SearchType
- Track ProcessorType the widgets are associated with
- Simplify update, save, load of config based on type
- Update configuration to use by the backend, while app is running
- Trigger after user hits start button with their config.
The config gets written to khoj.yml file first, then the updated
config is loaded onto memory
- 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
- Only allow adding files with appropriate file extension for each search type
- e.g .org for org-mode search, directory for image search
- Extract file paths added to config and enablement state of each search type
- This extracted state will be used to populate the khoj.yml config file
- Simplifies the configure screen layout and allows it to be of constant width
- It was buggy, the configure screen would dynamically expand but not
restore back to original size on disabling search type after enable
- 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
- Do not want browsers to use the small, grainy favicons
- Firefox for Android does use the bigger icon, when it's the only one available
- Update svg to match the 144x144 ratio just for consistency
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
- Improve code layout by ensuring all web interface specific code
under the src/interface/web directory
- Rename config API to more specifi /config instead of /ui
- Rename config data GET, POST api to /config/data instead of /config
- Previously we were statically populating types dropdown field in the web interface with all available search types
- This change populates the type dropdown field with only search types that are enabled/configured
- It queries the `/config` backend API to see which of the available search types are configured
- Populate via `.then` after enabled search types in dropdown are
populated
- Call to `/config` API is async and will usually complete after the value of type field is set from url
- So value of type field would earlier be overridden when search types
dropdown is populated after the call to `/config` API completes
- Get /config API and check config for which available search types is
populated. This gives us the list of enabled search types
- Dynamically populate search type field with enabled search types only
- Setting query value to default option when query param wasn't
passed via URL was overriding placeholder text in query field
- We wanted placeholder text in field, not the query field to actually
be populated by placeholder text
- This clears field when user starts typing query into the query field,
instead of them having to manually delete the default text populated
Having org-mode result headings change size based on their depth in
the source document makes is a confusing UI experience.
Improve font-size, line-spacing and margins of results to make
delineation between entries, and differntiating between entry heading
and it's body easier to visually infer.
Do not white-space: pre-line. Improves rendering of Markdown results
## Support Incremental Search on Khoj Web Interface
- Use default, fast path to query /search API while user is typing
- Upgrade to cross-encoder re-ranked results once user hits enter on search box
## Improve Render of Org Results on Web Interface
- We were previously just wrapping results from /search API into a pre formatted div field. This was not easy to read
- Use [org.js](https://mooz.github.io/org-js/) to render results from Khoj `/search` API as proper HTML
- Improve org.js to render all task states, stylize task tags and make org-mode results look more like original content
Closes#42#41
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
- Avoids having to click the query input box
- Just open page, type whatever and hit enter to do image search
- For other search types select appropriate type from dropdown
- Use shr to render image response from html in result buffer
Earlier was using org-mode. But rendering HTML with shr seems cleaner
- Use Headings to Add highlights
- Use Random to Force fetch of Image. Similar to what was done for Web interface
- Remove trailing elisp brackets from response
- Show query match scores by image model for each image in results
Adding a random, unused url param at the end of the img.src string
fixes the issue. As the browser thinks it's a new image and doesn't
use the image data that's already cached because of which it wasn't
even making the fetch call for the image
- Allow viewing image results returned by Semantic Search.
Until now there wasn't any interface within the app to view image
search results. For text results, we at least had the emacs interface
- This should help with debugging issues with image search too
For text the Swagger interface was good enough
- Add search query to top of buffer as Beancount comment
- Remove trailing ) from response
- Separate entries by empty line
- Load beancount-mode in semantic search on ledger buffer
- Previously:
The text the model was trained on was being used to
re-create a semblance of the original org-mode entry.
- Now:
- Store raw entry as another key:value in each entry json too
Only return actual raw org entries in results
But create embeddings like before
- Also add link to entry in file:<filename>::<line_number> form
in property drawer of returned results
This can be used to jump to actual entry in it's original file
