The Semantic Search plugin revolutionizes your Obsidian experience by introducing a cutting-edge file switcher powered by OpenAI's embedding API. With this innovative tool, you can find what you're looking for based on what you mean, rather than just relying on keywords. The plugin generates input CSV files based on sections of your notes and uses OpenAI's text-embedding model to create embeddings. These embeddings are then used for semantic searching, allowing you to quickly locate relevant information within your vault. Additionally, the plugin offers a link recommendation feature that suggests related files using {{}} syntax. With Semantic Search, you can say goodbye to tedious manual searching and hello to a more efficient and intuitive note-taking experience.

Command	Description
Generate Input	Generate input csv based on sections of your notes. Currently, sections are defined as text blocks between headings. Prepared input is saved as `input.csv` in your root folder.
Generate Embedding	Obtain embeddings via the configured API URL (this requires that the generate input command was successfully executed). Generated embeddings is saved as `embedding.csv` in your root folder.
Open Query Modal	Semantic search through your notes using generated embeddings.
Recommend links using current selection	Uses current editor selection as query input, automatically creating a markdown link with your choice. Can also be triggered in the context menu using the mouse right-click.

Setting	Description
API URL	Any arbitrary url endpoint for obtaining embeddings, but make sure the response JSON is supported (selected from "API repsonse type"). e.g. OpenAI: https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings. Ollama: http://localhost:11434/api/embed
API Key	Optional API key that is placed into Bearer Auth HTTP header. This gets stored into `data.json` as per all obsidian plugin settings data so make sure you do not commit this file to a repository.
Model	The model id, passed in the key "model" of request.
API response type	The type of response JSON expected to be returned from the URL.
Section Delimeters	Regex used to determine if the current line is the start of a new section. Sections are used to group related content together. Defaults to `.`, meaning every line starts a new section. E.g. matching every heading: `^#{1,6}`
Folders to ignore	Folders to ignore when generating input. Enter folder paths separated by newlines.
Number of batches	Number of batches used to call OpenAI's endpoint. If you have lots of data, and are facing invalid request errors, try increasing this number.
Enable link recommendation using `{{}}`	Use `{{}}` as a way to trigger semantic search suggestions for file linking.
Enable cost estimation	Turn on/off input cost estimation that is based on a flat rate of $0.0004 / 1000 tokens.
Enable debug mode logging	Turn on/off more verbose logging.
