Debanjum Singh Solanky ec157ea0ff Add Emacs interface to semantic-search directly to main repository
Too much overhead to maintain multiple repositories, especially when
the Emacs library for semantic-search is a single file.

Import Readme from the emacs-semantic-search repository too

          :load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/semantic-search.el"
          :bind ("C-c s" . 'semantic-search))

          :bind ("C-c s" . 'semantic-search))

Usage

  1. Call semantic-search using keybinding C-c s or M-x semantic-search
  2. Enter Query in Natural Language e.g "What is the meaning of life?" "What are my life goals?"
  3. Wait for results Note: It takes about 15s on a Mac M1 and a ~100K lines corpus of org-mode files
  4. (Optional) Narrow down results further Include/Exclude specific words from results by adding to query e.g "What is the meaning of life? -god +none"
