This is not the first time that we've had semantic search as a "Ctrl-F" replacement in chrome: I actually cited the precursor to this in one of my papers: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fuzbal/lidjpicdkcg...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can download it with an extension like: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-extension-s...
Where's the source code to that?
Honestly I wouldn't even consider installing this because there is zero information about how it works and what it does with the data I type into it. Are my search terms sent to some random server to be "processed" and/or logged for analytics purposes, or is everything done locally? The single-line privacy policy is [woefully bare]( https://sites.google.com/view/scoutcrx/privacy ).
"Any data about your use of Scout is not knowingly sold or offered to third parties or stored on our servers." Privacy policy seems to imply that data is being collected - would be good to clarify that. Does it rely on a server/API?
not sure, but could the privacy policy just be a requirement of Google and no data collection is taking place?
Is this using OpenAI‘s GPT3 search endpoint? Someone here mentioned a code snippet from the extension that seems to suggest that. Reason I‘m asking: Last time I checked, OpenAI‘s GPT3 „search“ endpoint actually performed a lot worse than, say, a BM25 or fastText search (which has the added benefit that you can run it on your own server).
Is this open source? Seems like it might be small enough to be great for learning from.
Cool idea. I want to be able to semantically search the contents of files on my computer and an archive of my bookmarks
Please do consider updating the image to be something that shows what is actually going on, because that one just makes it look like your extension draws highlights on a webpage. Bonus points for some animated gif or video or something showing how it changes as you type more stuff
