What Hacker News says

I've been trying to solve a problem with implementing semantic search on my YouTube search engine yt-fts (https://github.com/NotJoeMartinez/yt-fts). I've managed to substantially speed up search results by storing subtitle embeddings in Chroma. But a bigger problem has been with how to properly segment the text in a way that accounts for the duration and context of word embeddings while returning precise time stamps. This a blog post exploring what I've tried so far.
In Challenges with semantic search on transcribed audio files
It looks like you're running searches using LIKE: https://github.com/NotJoeMartinez/yt-fts/blob/050981c0519a96... SQLite has a really power full-text search mechanism built in - FTS5. It can handle things like stemming and stop words and relevance ranking. My sqlite-utils Python library includes helper methods for setting that up: https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#...
