When OpenAI's CLIP model was released in 2021 and other major advances in representation learning were made around that time, I expected, or rather hoped, that these models would soon be integrated into file browsers to improve semantic search capabilities, especially for images and documents.<p>Now, a few years later, the train still doesn't seem to have arrived. Vector databases are now a thing, but despite hours of research, I couldn't find a single GUI application that allows embedding and semantic search of (local) files.<p>Was I just unlucky in my search or is there really no such tool or integration, e.g. for Gnome Search or file browser such as Nautilus?
