Fluent Search Beta 1.1.0.0: Introducing AI-Powered Semantic Search and More!

Hello Fluent Search users!

I'm excited to announce the release of Fluent Search Beta 1.1.0.0, featuring some fantastic new AI-powered capabilities that significantly enhance your search experience. As always, Fluent Search remains my passion project, developed in my spare time as a hobby. This release introduces several exciting improvements I've been eager to share with you.

AI Search: Smart, Semantic, and Local

The most significant addition in this version is AI Search, powered by semantic embeddings. Instead of relying solely on traditional keyword matching, AI Search understands the meaning behind your queries, providing more accurate and intuitive results.

Here's what makes this feature special:

  • Fully Local and Private: AI Search runs entirely on your device. No external APIs, no cloud calls—your data stays private.
  • Integrated Seamlessly: Semantic search is now part of Fluent Search's core engine, automatically enhancing search across apps, plugins, and even settings.
  • Ultra-Fast Results: Fluent Search embeds cached data at startup, ensuring lightning-fast semantic search results.
AI Search Welcome
  • For real-time semantic search beyond cached items, use the AI tag in your search queries.

  • To get started, you’ll need to install the AI components. You can do this by searching with the AI tag for the first time or navigating to Settings -> Search -> AI.

  • Choose between two model types when installing:

    • English Only: Optimized for English searches.
    • Multi Language: Supports cross-language search across 100 languages, delivering equal accuracy in English searches and broader versatility.

AI Summarization: Quickly Grasp Search Results

Another AI-driven improvement is result summarization. This feature helps you quickly understand file and web search results by highlighting key sentences rather than generating entirely new text. Think of it as smart extraction of important content!

Search Tags Island: Discover More Efficiently

Introducing the Search Tags Island—a dynamic component at the top right of the search bar. This smart feature suggests relevant search tags based on your query and search results, significantly improving your ability to filter and find precisely what you need.

When AI components are installed, suggestions become even smarter by leveraging semantic similarity.

AI Search Search Tags Island

Searching for files just got better! The new fuzzy search indexing feature lets you perform semi-fuzzy searches. For instance, typing "mcd" or "mycool" will now find "My Cool Document," rather than relying solely on exact keyword tokens.

Additionally, the file search algorithm has been refined for greater accuracy and better performance.


This is still a beta version, and your feedback is crucial! I'm eager to hear how much you like these new AI-powered features and how useful they are in your daily workflow. Please share your experiences, suggestions, and any issues you encounter.

Happy searching!
