* Semantic Search
  /Allow natural language search on user content like notes, images, transactions using transformer based models/

  All data is processed locally. User can interface with semantic-search app via [[./src/interface/emacs/semantic-search.el][Emacs]], API or Commandline

** Dependencies
   - Python3
   - [[https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#latest-miniconda-installer-links][Miniconda]]

** Install
   #+begin_src shell
   git clone https://github.com/debanjum/semantic-search && cd semantic-search
   conda env create -f environment.yml
   conda activate semantic-search
   #+end_src

*** Install Environmental Dependencies
   #+begin_src shell
   sudo apt-get -y install libimage-exiftool-perl
   #+end_src

** Configure
   Configure application search types and their underlying data source/files in ~sample_config.yml~
   Use the ~sample_config.yml~ as reference

** Run
   Load ML model, generate embeddings and expose API to query notes, images, transactions etc specified in config YAML

   #+begin_src shell
   python3 -m src.main -c=sample_config.yml -vv
   #+end_src

** Use
   - *Semantic Search via Emacs*
     - [[https://github.com/debanjum/semantic-search/tree/master/src/interface/emacs#installation][Install]] [[./src/interface/emacs/semantic-search.el][semantic-search.el]]
     - Run ~M-x semantic-search <user-query>~

   - *Semantic Search via API*
     - Query: ~GET~ [[http://localhost:8000/search?q=%22what%20is%20the%20meaning%20of%20life%22][http://localhost:8000/search?q="What is the meaning of life&t=notes"]]
     - Regenerate Embeddings: ~GET~ [[http://localhost:8000/regenerate][http://localhost:8000/regenerate?t=image]]
     - [[http://localhost:8000/docs][Semantic Search API Docs]]

** Upgrade
   #+begin_src shell
     cd semantic-search
     git pull origin master
     conda env update -f environment.yml
     conda activate semantic-search
   #+end_src
