# Vault Semantic Search Search the Obsidian vault by meaning, not just keywords. Uses local `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` model — no API calls, no data leaves your machine. ## Usage ```bash # Search by meaning node daemons/semantic-search/search-vault.js "your query here" # Re-index (run after significant vault changes) node daemons/semantic-search/embed-vault.js # Re-index only changed files node daemons/semantic-search/embed-vault.js --changed-only ``` ## Setup ```bash cd daemons/semantic-search && npm install node embed-vault.js # Initial index (~30 seconds) ``` ## Confidential-class deny list If your vault also holds client work, deal notes, or anything under NDA, keep it out of the index: ```bash cd daemons/semantic-search cp index-deny.example.json index-deny.json # then edit index-deny.json and list your own folders ``` Each entry in `deny_prefixes` is a vault-relative path prefix, matched case-insensitively and with either slash style. `embed-vault.js` drops matching files before they are embedded, so their text never reaches `embeddings.json` (which stores note excerpts in plaintext). `search-vault.js` re-checks the same list at query time, so an index built before you added a prefix still can't return one. Only `index-deny.example.json` is tracked by git. Your `index-deny.json` is gitignored, because the names of your confidential folders are themselves confidential. With no `index-deny.json` at all, both scripts index and search everything and print a notice on s...
