1.0.0

vault-curate (formerly vault-search) — Chinese-first semantic search for Obsidian with optional AI curation.

Highlights

• Built-in Chinese embedding — bge-small-zh-v1.5 runs on device via WebGPU/WASM (~110 MB one-time download). No daemon, no API key needed.
• Hybrid Fusion search — BM25 + semantic + fuzzy combined via Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Exact terms, related meaning, and typos all find the right note.
• Discover (發掘) — surfaces semantically related Cold notes against your Hot pool, so blind spots become visible.
• AI curation (opt-in, off by default) — single-note description generation + topic-grouped MOC via HDBSCAN clustering + LLM naming.
• SQLite storage — replaces v0.x's data.json / index.json.
• WebGPU indexing — 5,000+ chunks indexed in ~1.5 minutes on a modern laptop.

Upgrading from vault-search

⚠️ Do not use Community plugins → Uninstall on the old vault-search — a different plugin authored by another developer now occupies that id and may insert itself when you uninstall. Instead:

1. Open your vault folder, find .obsidian/plugins/vault-search/
2. Delete that folder directly from the filesystem
3. Install vault-curate (see below)
4. Enable — the Welcome modal will guide you through rebuilding the index

Frontmatter (description / tags) in your notes is preserved; embeddings are rebuilt from scratch (~1–2 min on WebGPU).

Installation

• Community store: search "Vault Curate"
• BRAT: add notoriouslab/vault-curate
• Manual: download main.js, manifest.json, worker.js, ort-wasm-simd-threaded.wasm, styles.css from below into .obsidian/plugins/vault-curate/
