THIS PROJECT IS ARCHIVED. All work has been migrated to https://github.com/ssosik/xapian-query-cli and https://github.com/ssosik/xapian-rusty
Things I Know About - A Minimal Zettelkasten-inspired Markdown+FrontMatter document indexer and query interface.
Keep lots of small notes and then quickly find them again using Information Retrival-style natural language queries.
I originally implemented this as a Vim plugin using some Python code built around Xapian.
This is my first Rust project, the code here is probably not ideal.
- Add tests
- Delete entries from local cache
- Query/filter on time range
- timestamp ranges
- Query/filter on tags (make sure this is working properly)
- Update README
- Vim Plugin
- TUI select many
- searching/jumping-to/highlighting in preview
- pageup/down; ctrl-w
- TUI start list at the bottom instead of the top
- Cache MD5 hashes of files using
kvto skip indexing unchanged files - Keep track of access count in KV
- Keep track of all Tags used for autocompletion
- cleanups, refactoring, rust-analyze, clippy and linting
- statically link xapian-core
- fix all gratuitus allows and unused imports
- CLI option for passing in starting query for interactive mode
- CLI option to emit JSON instead of filename
- import man/info pages and other canonical documentation for indexing and IR
- Add URL tag, support multiple?
- Support multiple Author tags

lightly patched version of xapian-rusty, included here as a submodule.
zlib and xapian-core, which are bundled here.
Any modern standard Rust installation should probably work.
I use NixOS along with Direnv and Direnv Nix Integration
git clone https://github.com/ssosik/tika
cd tika
direnv allow
# Wait some time for Nix to install all of the Rust tooling
rustup install stable
