milli VS deft

Is this a posting list? There is a lot of bioinformatics in this post, but if I squint, some of the problems do look like general information retrieval problems. Even the discussion of ordering the arrays by mass sounds like search relevance scores and makes me wonder if it makes sense to try to get something off the shelf like meillisearch/milli or tantavy to support this use case.

I'm currently not using any tool, although I am playing around with binding Milli and the most up-to-date Mentat fork to emacs with emacs-module-rs.

Yeah, we have already done that, the internal engine is called milli and could even be published on crates.io one day! The issue is with the design of the storage system itself, we use LMDB right now but maybe we can find another way to index faster and to be more oriented to distributed systems.

They have another prototype engine with more advanced features and performance too.

You can look at the milli repository this is the library that we use and work on. MeiliSearch is the HTTP actix-web based server that serves the milli indices.

This library is the main bottleneck of the new MeiliSearch search engine. We will soon release a beta version, keep watching!

Working on the new MeiliSearch engine, reworked from scratch! There already is excellent external contributions 🎉

If, like me, OP is a little slap-dash, happy-go-lucky, can't-decide-what-to-use, lazy, or uncoordinated, https://github.com/jrblevin/deft is a pretty handy package.

For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

Check out Deft.

Take a look at Deft, this is what I use.

I like deft for this.

Honestly I've been in the same boat as you for ages and have even tried writing my own zettelkasten packages here and there on top of things like deft (I started with zetteldeft, which shows).

Is there an easy way to move a ton of org files into org-roam? I've used just a flat directory of org files that I've searched with the excellent Deft package for years, and I'd like to give org-roam a whirl. Is there an easy way to import all those notes in bulk? (Don't all notes need an ID?)

‘Course, there’s an Emacs command to do that: Deft mode.
