zetteldeft VS milli

What functionality are you looking for? “Knowledge Management” is extremely broad. Org and/or orgroam is probably what most people use for knowledge management. There’s also https://github.com/ymherklotz/emacs-zettelkasten or https://github.com/EFLS/zetteldeft

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).

I now use emacs and Org mode for notetaking (with zetteldeft) and for drafting articles. I can export them into Word and get pretty close to the formatting I want. But I also use it for writing lecture notes and making slideshows for my classes using org-reveal.

Here's some info on how you can use zetteldeft to export a website from notes.

I did arrive at a solution using zetteldeft - it's lots of fun being back in emacs and having access to all of the source code and documentation.

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 🎉
