felladrin / MiniSearch

Minimalist web-searching platform with an AI assistant that runs directly from your browser. Demo: https://felladrin-minisearch.hf.space

Why this job: topics: rag, retrieval-augmented-generation

MiniSearch answering a query: an AI response with citations above the search results

What it does

  • Private by design. No tracking, no telemetry, no accounts. Search history, cached results, and chats are stored in your browser and never leave your machine.
  • AI in your browser. Pick from several curated models that run on WebGPU where available and on CPU elsewhere. Models are downloaded once and cached by the browser.
  • Any backend you like. Connect an OpenAI-compatible API (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, llama.cpp server, or a hosted provider), use the crowdsourced AI Horde, or let the server proxy your own API without exposing its key.
  • A real search pipeline. Text and image results aggregated by SearXNG, reranked locally by a cross-encoder model, cached, and rate-limited; all inside the container.
  • Answers you can verify. Responses cite the sources they draw from, support follow-up questions with conversation memory, reveal the model's reasoning on demand, and can be read aloud.
