QMD (Python edition) is an on-device search engine for everything you need
to remember. Index your markdown notes, meeting transcripts, documentation,
and knowledge bases. Search with keywords or natural language using local
AI models.
QMD combines BM25 full-text search, vector semantic search, and LLM
re-ranking all running locally via sentence-transformers with GGUF models.
Features:
- Full-text search with BM25 algorithm
- Vector-based semantic search with embeddings
- LLM-based re-ranking for relevance
- Support for markdown collections and context hierarchies
- Local-first, privacy-focused operation
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for agentic flows
