What's in this beta
- Better recommendations for long, multi-topic notes (new in beta.2): on large-context embedding models (e.g. Ollama
bge-m3, OpenAI), a long note covering several topics was split into chunks too coarse for any one topic to stand out, so genuinely related notes were missed or buried under unrelated notes that merely shared structure (tables, headings). Notes are now chunked at a focused size regardless of the model. Run a full reindex (Index settings → Reindex) to apply it to an existing vault. - Already-linked notes now appear in Similar notes (since beta.1): previously the panel hid any note you had already linked to, so the most obvious matches went missing from recommendations. They now show, ranked by score alongside everything else, with a small muted "linked" tag marking them as already linked.
- Export similar notes for active note (#47, since beta.1): new command Similar Notes: Export similar notes for active note writes the active note's results to a JSON file (
.obsidian/plugins/similar-notes/similar-notes-export.json), so external tools (e.g. coding agents) can reuse the search without touching embeddings or the index.
