I wonder if it's possible to use #Xapian for #toys (the #Guix channel search engine), and here it is: toys-xapian (demo available at https://search.guix.moe/).
I'll maintain this instance as part of guix.moe (also as a backup to the toys.whereis.social instance, there has been some downtime this week) when I think it's stable. -

The debate about #localai is kinda amusing. On the one hand prudent people that want private, local inference of #opensource #llm be the norm, on the other, "AI" psychos that can no longer imagine life without access to "SOTA"
Running these gargantuan models locally is currently barely possible in high end desktops. But there is vast space of less demanding tools that we could have on #linux and we don't.
For the longest time the only project in this space has been amazing #recoll / #xapian

To add some more information here: This (German) wiki entry provides information which #Debian #packages to install to make #Recoll perform best: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Recoll/
And this article of #LinuxMagazine provides an in-depth explanation of the features of Recoll and why it should be preferred over using #Xapian directly for handling user provided search strings: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2018/212/Tutorials-Recoll

#Recoll is a personal #search engine.
Recoll indexes and searches directories using #Xapian. Recoll performs full text searches, meaning the entire text of indexed files is searched rather than some metadata. Recoll supports helpers which can perform spell check, indexing of otherwise unsupported file formats, and plenty more. Recoll supports fuzzy suggestions based on the actual contents of the index.
