Xiaoyao Search

This is a local file search engine that runs on your machine and connects to Claude through MCP. It gives you five search modes: semantic search powered by BGE-M3 vectors, traditional full-text with Whoosh, hybrid that combines both, image similarity via CN-CLIP, and voice search with FasterWhisper transcription. You need to run the backend server yourself at localhost:8000 and build indexes before searching. The semantic search is genuinely useful for natural language queries like "machine learning optimization docs" while full-text handles exact matches like code snippets. It returns relevance scores and file previews in JSON. If you work with large local document collections and want more than grep, this gives you proper semantic understanding without sending files to the cloud.
