[image] kanishka: whether this makes more sense as a plugin first or as a core feature Just my opinion, but I think probably a plugin approach will probably be better in this case. The reason is that there is a large number of people who for various reason do not want to use AI in any form, a…

Additionally, as a general rule if something can be made as a plugin that's probably what it should be. It's easier to get started and to iterate quickly, which is important during GSoC, and indeed it also gives the users more choice.

Will it make sense to append LLM description of the image to OCR text? I’m thinking it might help a lot in “search“ as well as the existing/future RAG approaches.

Thanks for the feedback :slight_smile: @tomasz86 @laurent That makes sense. I’ll scope this as a plugin-first, opt-in project rather than a core feature.

Yes for now please scope it to desktop. I'd say during the development keep mobile in mind anyway so that we could potentially add support for it one day, but it's not necessary as part of this project.

The main concern here is the search integration strategy. Storing labels in resource userData makes sense, but duplicating them into note bodies to make them searchable seems fragile. It creates sync and consistency issues, especially when a resource is referenced from multiple notes, and it also me…

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. The multi-note resource problem with html comments is a real issue. i'll rework that section around proper indexing instead. my current thinking is maybe extending userDataSet so plugins can flag certain keys as indexed, and then SearchEngine picks those up during …
