Open Source JavaScript Semantic Search Tools

Open Semantic Search is an open source research and analytics platform designed for searching, analyzing, and exploring large collections of documents using semantic search technologies. It provides an integrated search server combined with a document processing pipeline that supports crawling, text extraction, and automated analysis of content from many different sources. Open Semantic Search includes an ETL framework that can ingest documents, process them through analysis steps, and enrich the data with extracted information such as named entities and metadata. It also supports optical character recognition to extract text from images and scanned documents, including images embedded inside PDF files. It integrates text mining and analytics capabilities that allow users to examine relationships, topics, and structured data within document collections.

Catalogo is a system for cataloguing resources on a web site. It allows semantic search of information on an intranet using metadata, RDF and ontology concepts. It provides a Catalog server (Java web applications) and a Catalog client (Firefox plug-in).

MindSearch is an AI-powered search engine based on large language models (LLMs) designed for deep semantic search and retrieval. It leverages InternLM's language model to understand complex queries and retrieve highly relevant answers from large datasets.

This is the Node.js client (with Typescript types) for the NLP Cloud API. NLP Cloud serves high-performance pre-trained or custom models for NER, sentiment analysis, classification, summarization, dialogue summarization, paraphrasing, intent classification, product description and ad generation, chatbot, grammar and spelling correction, keywords and keyphrases extraction, text generation, image generation, blog post generation, text generation, question answering, automatic speech recognition, machine translation, language detection, semantic search, semantic similarity, tokenization, POS tagging, embeddings, and dependency parsing. It is ready for production, and served through a REST API. You can either use the NLP Cloud pre-trained models, fine-tune your own models, or deploy your own models.

PandaWiki is an open source knowledge base system designed to help users build intelligent documentation platforms powered by large language models. It combines traditional wiki functionality with modern AI capabilities, allowing teams and individuals to create and manage product documentation, technical manuals, FAQs, and blog-style knowledge resources. PandaWiki provides tools for managing knowledge bases through an administrative interface while also generating public-facing wiki sites where users can browse and interact with content. AI capabilities are integrated to assist with content creation, intelligent question answering, and semantic search, helping users find information more efficiently within stored documentation. PandaWiki also supports importing knowledge from different external sources such as web pages, RSS feeds, sitemaps, and offline files to quickly populate documentation collections.

This project provides cross-forge semantic search for the Qualipso Forge. It integrates A4 AdvDoc prototype (semantic search GUI and engine) with A3 homogeneous and heterogeneous cross-forge semantic search capabilities. See Qualipso.org for details

RAG From Scratch is an educational open-source project designed to teach developers how retrieval-augmented generation systems work by building them step by step. Instead of relying on complex frameworks or cloud services, the repository demonstrates the entire RAG pipeline using transparent and minimal implementations. The project walks through key concepts such as generating embeddings, building vector databases, retrieving relevant documents, and integrating the retrieved context into language model prompts. Each example is written with detailed explanations so that developers can understand the internal mechanics of semantic search and context-aware language generation. The repository emphasizes learning through direct implementation, allowing users to see how each component of the RAG architecture functions independently.

S3B - Social Semantic Search and Browsing - is a middleware that delivers a set of search and browsing components that can be used in J2EE web applications to deliver user-oriented features based on semantic descriptions and social networking

Started as a social bookmarking platform aimed at education professionals. The system allows posting of links and files, liking posts, adding tags for semantic search etc. Very early stages of development - probably quite a few holes in the code!
