Local search engine for Markdown notes, docs, and knowledge bases with fast indexing and multiple search modes (keyword, semantic, hybrid).

🚀 qmd is a lightning-fast local search engine for your Markdown notes and knowledge bases. Index your files once, then search instantly using keyword matching (BM25). Perfect for quickly finding relevant documents without relying on cloud services or complex setup.

💡 Use qmd when you need to search personal notes, retrieve related documents, or find specific information across your local Markdown collections. It's ideal for researchers, writers, and anyone maintaining a personal knowledge base who wants instant, reliable results.

✨ Unlike generic search tools, qmd understands Markdown structure and handles messy formatting gracefully. It offers optional semantic search for when keywords aren't enough, making it a flexible solution that adapts to your search needs.
