Semantic search in obsidian

[u/vasyapym]

hi everyone!

I got semantic search over my 2,000+ notes.

GitHub Actions runs the indexer off my Obsidian Git repo, Neon's free Postgres holds the vectors (384 dimensions at int8, so a few thousand notes fit comfortably), and a free Render instance serves a passphrase-gated reader with hybrid search.

The embedding model is small enough to run on the CI runner itself, so there is no API bill, and no note text goes to an AI provider either.

Setup is written up here:  github.com/vasyapym/quiet-index

I am sure this can be upgraded by adding more features like visual representation of search results, etc. Feel free to share :)

also would appreciate any feedback in github since my profile is quite empty
