Keyword vs. Semantic Search — Obsidian + IA local: Segundo Cerebro Privado

Módulo 3: Finding Hidden Connections — Use the Smart Connections plugin to automatically find related concepts you've forgotten about.

How does a traditional Keyword Search find information?
It looks for exact letter-for-letter text matches in your files. — Ctrl+F is a prime example of this.
How does Semantic Search find information?
It understands the meaning and context of your query, finding related concepts even if exact words aren't used. — It uses vectors to calculate 'closeness' of ideas.
If you search for 'automobile', which search method will successfully find a note that only contains the word 'car'?
Semantic Search — Which one understands the *meaning* of the word?
