Hey everyone, I have updated my fuzzy search library for the frontend. It now supports substring and prefix search, on top of fuzzy matching. It's fast, accurate, multilingual and has zero dependencies. GitHub: https://github.com/m31coding/fuzzy-search Live demo: https://www.m31coding.com/fuzzy-search-demo.html I would love to hear your feedback and any suggestions you may have for improving the library. Happy coding!

Hey HN! I got nerd-sniped by Bloom Filters this weekend, specifically for searching datasets with high "cardinality" (number of unique items). They're an _amazing_ data structure that, at a fixed size, tracks potential set membership. That means unlike normal b-tree indexes, they don't grow with the number of unique items in the dataset. This makes them great for "needle in a haystack" search (logs, document) as implementations like VictoriaMetrics and Bing's BitFunnel show. I've used them in the past, but they've never been center-stage in my projects. I wanted high cardinality keyword…

Dear HN Community, I am a long time fan and first-time contributor. I just launched a developer focused semantic search platform and wanted to share it with the community. The idea is simple: upload structured or unstructured documents, select the fields you want to index and tag as metadata, and instantly get a clean search API you can use in your own app. Here is what it currently supports: - Manage your own tenants and projects - Upload .json and .txt files (support for .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .yml, etc. coming soon) - Expose 3 APIs: search, upload document (embeddings), and delete document -…

Hey HN, We’ve been heads-down building MOSS - a semantic memory layer that brings AI-powered search and personalization fully on-device (No cloud | No latency | No data leaving the user’s device) We just launched a live demo showing MOSS running entirely in-browser, performing lightning-fast semantic search over local in-browser VectorDB. This unlocks a new class of privacy-first, hybrid AI experiences that work even without a server connection. If you’re curious about: - how to run AI search right inside the browser - the technical challenges behind on-device vector search - why we believe…

After getting frustrated with macOS's Spotlight search, e.g., typing "driver license" doesn't give me anything unless the file name matches exactly, I thought, why not index my entire Documents folder? This way, I can find that one PDF or image buried deep in subfolders using natural language queries. So I built SmartSearch; it uses SentenceTransformers for embeddings and FAISS for fast similarity search. Best of all, it runs locally on your computer.

Hi HN! It’s always bothered me that there’s no real equivalent of SQL WHERE for vector content. Filtering is one of the cornerstones of a modern database — but vector DBs only support either top-k sort, which is only useful for fuzzy search, or metadata filtering, which isn’t semantic. I’ve found myself wanting all the results matching my semantic query, not just k! Aside from data analysis, it's relevant if you’re trying to do any LLM reasoning: you don’t make good decisions or reach good conclusions by considering a small subset of information. So, we’ve designed a filtering primitive on…
