Khoj: A Natural Language Search Engine for your Org-Mode Notes

[deleted]

[Org-rifle](https://github.com/alphapapa/org-rifle) searches for *exact matches* across all org-entries. The main improvement Khoj provides over existing search tools in Emacs is **not having to use exact search terms**. Under the hood, Khoj uses a sentence-transformer ML model that understands context. As shown in the [analysis](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj#analysis) of the [demo](https://github.com/debanjum/khoj#demo). Khoj seems to understand that Emacs is an editor! So when searching for "setup editor" it returns how to setup Khoj with Emacs as the closest match. The advantages of \`Org-rifle\`, \`org-agenda search\` etc is the simplicity of setting them up. It's all within the Emacs ecosystem. Whereas Khoj is a python application for advanced search (and more) with an Emacs, desktop and web interface. Bonus: If you enable image search, Khoj will find all "cat pictures" you chose for it to index. And you can search without ever leaving Emacs 😁

Now I just need a big collection of cat images!

Very nice project, and a great example of ML usage.

Finally a package name with Nepali keyword in emacs !! Looks neat.

Just curious. Is it named Khoj because it means search in Hindi? If not then it's a huge coincidence 🙂

Yeah that's the reason, not a coincidence. Though it'd have been pretty neat if it had just happened by chance 😁
