|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Configure
|
|
|
|
1. Enable content types and point to files to search in the First Run Screen that pops up on app start
|
|
2. Click `Configure` and wait. The app will download ML models and index the content for search
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
### Interfaces
|
|
|
|
- **Khoj via Obsidian**
|
|
- [Install](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj/tree/master/src/interface/obsidian#2-Setup-Plugin) the Khoj Obsidian plugin
|
|
- Click the *Khoj search* icon 🔎 on the [Ribbon](https://help.obsidian.md/User+interface/Workspace/Ribbon) or Search for *Khoj: Search* in the [Command Palette](https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Command+palette)
|
|
- **Khoj via Emacs**
|
|
- [Install](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj/tree/master/src/interface/emacs#installation) [khoj.el](./src/interface/emacs/khoj.el)
|
|
- Run `M-x khoj <user-query>`
|
|
- **Khoj via Web**
|
|
- Open <http://localhost:8000/> via desktop interface or directly
|
|
- **Khoj via API**
|
|
- See the Khoj FastAPI [Swagger Docs](http://localhost:8000/docs), [ReDocs](http://localhost:8000/redocs)
|
|
|
|
### Query Filters
|
|
Use structured query syntax to filter the natural language search results
|
|
- **Word Filter**: Get entries that include/exclude a specified term
|
|
- Entries that contain term_to_include: `+"term_to_include"`
|
|
- Entries that contain term_to_exclude: `-"term_to_exclude"`
|
|
- **Date Filter**: Get entries containing dates in YYYY-MM-DD format from specified date (range)
|
|
- Entries from April 1st 1984: `dt:"1984-04-01"`
|
|
- Entries after March 31st 1984: `dt>="1984-04-01"`
|
|
- Entries before April 2nd 1984 : `dt<="1984-04-01"`
|
|
- **File Filter**: Get entries from a specified file
|
|
- Entries from incoming.org file: `file:"incoming.org"`
|
|
- Combined Example
|
|
- `what is the meaning of life? file:"1984.org" dt>="1984-01-01" dt<="1985-01-01" -"big" -"brother"`
|
|
- Adds all filters to the natural language query. It should return entries
|
|
- from the file *1984.org*
|
|
- containing dates from the year *1984*
|
|
- excluding words *"big"* and *"brother"*
|
|
- that best match the natural language query *"what is the meaning of life?"*
|
|
|
|
## Upgrade
|
|
### Upgrade Khoj Server
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install --upgrade khoj-assistant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Upgrade Khoj on Emacs
|
|
- Use your Emacs Package Manager to Upgrade
|
|
- See [khoj.el readme](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj/tree/master/src/interface/emacs#Upgrade) for details
|
|
|
|
### Upgrade Khoj on Obsidian
|
|
- Upgrade via the Community plugins tab on the settings pane in the Obsidian app
|
|
- See the [khoj plugin readme](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj/tree/master/src/interface/obsidian#2-Setup-Plugin) for details
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall Khoj
|
|
1. (Optional) Hit `Ctrl-C` in the terminal running the khoj server to stop it
|
|
2. Delete the khoj directory in your home folder (i.e `~/.khoj` on Linux, Mac or `C:\Users\<your-username>\.khoj` on Windows)
|
|
3. Uninstall the khoj server with `pip uninstall khoj-assistant`
|
|
4. (Optional) Uninstall khoj.el or the khoj obsidian plugin in the standard way on Emacs, Obsidian
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshoot
|
|
|
|
#### Install fails while building Tokenizer dependency
|
|
- **Details**: `pip install khoj-assistant` fails while building the `tokenizers` dependency. Complains about Rust.
|
|
- **Fix**: Install Rust to build the tokenizers package. For example on Mac run:
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install rustup
|
|
rustup-init
|
|
source ~/.cargo/env
|
|
```
|
|
- **Refer**: [Issue with Fix](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj/issues/82#issuecomment-1241890946) for more details
|
|
|
|
#### Search starts giving wonky results
|
|
- **Fix**: Open [/api/update?force=true](http://localhost:8000/api/update?force=true)[^2] in browser to regenerate index from scratch
|
|
- **Note**: *This is a fix for when you percieve the search results have degraded. Not if you think they've always given wonky results*
|
|
|
|
#### Khoj in Docker errors out with \"Killed\" in error message
|
|
- **Fix**: Increase RAM available to Docker Containers in Docker Settings
|
|
- **Refer**: [StackOverflow Solution](https://stackoverflow.com/a/50770267), [Configure Resources on Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/#resources)
|
|
|
|
#### Khoj errors out complaining about Tensors mismatch or null
|
|
- **Mitigation**: Disable `image` search using the desktop GUI
|
|
|
|
## Advanced Usage
|
|
### Access Khoj on Mobile
|
|
1. [Setup Khoj](#Setup) on your personal server. This can be any always-on machine, i.e an old computer, RaspberryPi(?) etc
|
|
2. [Install](https://tailscale.com/kb/installation/) [Tailscale](tailscale.com/) on your personal server and phone
|
|
3. Open the Khoj web interface of the server from your phone browser.<br /> It should be `http://tailscale-ip-of-server:8000` or `http://name-of-server:8000` if you've setup [MagicDNS](https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/)
|
|
4. Click the [Add to Homescreen](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen) button
|
|
5. Enjoy exploring your notes, transactions and images from your phone!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Chat with Notes
|
|
#### Overview
|
|
- Provides a chat interface to inquire and engage with your notes
|
|
- Chat Types:
|
|
- **Summarize**: Pulls the most relevant note from your notes and summarizes it
|
|
- **Chat**: Also does general chat. It guesses whether to give a general response or search, summarizes from your note. <br />
|
|
E.g *"how was your day?"* will give a general response. But *When did I go surfing?* should give a response from your notes
|
|
- **Note**: *Your query and top note from search result will be sent to OpenAI for processing*
|
|
|
|
#### Use
|
|
1. [Setup your OpenAI API key in Khoj](#set-your-openai-api-key-in-khoj)
|
|
2. Open [/chat?t=summarize](http://localhost:8000/chat?t=summarize)[^2]
|
|
3. Type your queries, see summarized response by Khoj from your notes
|
|
|
|
#### Demo
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Use OpenAI Models for Search
|
|
#### Setup
|
|
1. Set `encoder-type`, `encoder` and `model-directory` under `asymmetric` and/or `symmetric` `search-type` in your `khoj.yml`[^1]:
|
|
```diff
|
|
asymmetric:
|
|
- encoder: "sentence-transformers/multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1"
|
|
+ encoder: text-embedding-ada-002
|
|
+ encoder-type: src.utils.models.OpenAI
|
|
cross-encoder: "cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2"
|
|
- encoder-type: sentence_transformers.SentenceTransformer
|
|
- model_directory: "~/.khoj/search/asymmetric/"
|
|
+ model-directory: null
|
|
```
|
|
2. [Setup your OpenAI API key in Khoj](#set-your-openai-api-key-in-khoj)
|
|
3. Restart Khoj server to generate embeddings. It will take longer than with offline models.
|
|
|
|
#### Warnings
|
|
This configuration *uses an online model*
|
|
- It will **send all notes to OpenAI** to generate embeddings
|
|
- **All queries will be sent to OpenAI** when you search with Khoj
|
|
- You will be **charged by OpenAI** based on the total tokens processed
|
|
- It *requires an active internet connection* to search and index
|
|
|
|
### Search across Different Languages
|
|
To search for notes in multiple, different languages, you can use a [multi-lingual model](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html#multi-lingual-models).<br />
|
|
For example, the [paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2) supports [50+ languages](https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html#:~:text=we%20used%20the%20following%2050%2B%20languages), has good search quality and speed. To use it:
|
|
1. Manually update `search-type > asymmetric > encoder` to `sentence-transformer/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2` in your `~/.khoj/khoj.yml` file for now. See diff of `khoj.yml` below for illustration:
|
|
```diff
|
|
asymmetric:
|
|
- encoder: "sentence-transformers/multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-vi"
|
|
+ encoder: "sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2"
|
|
cross-encoder: "cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2"
|
|
model_directory: "~/.khoj/search/asymmetric/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Regenerate your content index. For example, by opening [\<khoj-url\>/api/update?t=force](http://localhost:8000/api/update?t=force)
|
|
|
|
## Miscellaneous
|
|
### Set your OpenAI API key in Khoj
|
|
If you want, Khoj can be configured to use OpenAI for search and chat.<br />
|
|
Add your OpenAI API to Khoj by using either of the two options below:
|
|
- Open the Khoj desktop GUI, add your [OpenAI API key](https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys) and click *Configure*
|
|
Ensure khoj is started without the `--no-gui` flag. Check your system tray to see if Khoj 🦅 is minimized there.
|
|
- Set `openai-api-key` field under `processor.conversation` section in your `khoj.yml`[^1] to your [OpenAI API key](https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys) and restart khoj:
|
|
```diff
|
|
processor:
|
|
conversation:
|
|
- openai-api-key: # "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"
|
|
+ openai-api-key: sk-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
|
|
model: "text-davinci-003"
|
|
conversation-logfile: "~/.khoj/processor/conversation/conversation_logs.json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: *This will enable khoj to send your query and note(s) to OpenAI for processing*
|
|
|
|
### Beta API
|
|
- The beta [chat](http://localhost:8000/api/beta/chat), [summarize](http://localhost:8000/api/beta/summarize) and [search](http://localhost:8000/api/beta/search) API endpoints use [OpenAI API](https://openai.com/api/)
|
|
- They are disabled by default
|
|
- To use them:
|
|
1. [Setup your OpenAI API key in Khoj](#set-your-openai-api-key-in-khoj)
|
|
2. Interact with them from the [Khoj Swagger docs](http://locahost:8000/docs)[^2]
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
### Query performance
|
|
|
|
- Semantic search using the bi-encoder is fairly fast at \<50 ms
|
|
- Reranking using the cross-encoder is slower at \<2s on 15 results. Tweak `top_k` to tradeoff speed for accuracy of results
|
|
- Filters in query (e.g by file, word or date) usually add \<20ms to query latency
|
|
|
|
### Indexing performance
|
|
|
|
- Indexing is more strongly impacted by the size of the source data
|
|
- Indexing 100K+ line corpus of notes takes about 10 minutes
|
|
- Indexing 4000+ images takes about 15 minutes and more than 8Gb of RAM
|
|
- Note: *It should only take this long on the first run* as the index is incrementally updated
|
|
|
|
### Miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
- Testing done on a Mac M1 and a \>100K line corpus of notes
|
|
- Search, indexing on a GPU has not been tested yet
|
|
|
|
