What if I have a question or comment?
We encourage you to communicate with us. Please send questions or comments using the above addresses.
Can I open a PDF or HTML file, get a summary and ask questions?
Yes. Browse to a document and press Load. SearchWithin will process the document and generate a brief summary. Once done, you
can ask questions about the contents of the document in the query box and press Query.
How does SearchWithin work?
The first time you load a document, SearchWithin will extract the text (it will use OCR if needed), generate a summary,
and calculate an embedding vector for each paragraph (this can take awhile if the document is large). When you ask a question, SearchWithin will generate an
embedding vector for the question and use it to determine which paragraphs in the document have
the required information to answer your question. It will use your local instance of
Phi-3 to answer your question based on those parapgraphs.
Why is SearchWithin better than online tools for querying PDF files?
Enhanced Privacy: SearchWithin prioritizes your privacy. Unlike online solutions, your data stays on your PC.
Cost-Effectiveness: Unlike online tools that impose monthly charges, there are no recurring fees from Software995.
Expanded Functionality: SearchWithin stands out by enabling you to query local libraries and folders containing multiple documents.
Can I pre-process all of my PDF files at once?
Yes. The Folder Page allows you to both pre-process and to query multiple files at once. First, add a folder and press Process.
Once a folder has been processed, you can instantly load the folder's documents individually in the Documents Page.
You can also load the entire folder for querying at once by pressing the Load button in the Folder Page.
Do I need Python and must Python be added to the System Path in order to run SearchWithin?
Yes. SearchWithin will direct you to install Python if it is not found in the System Path. If Python is intalled but not added to
the System Path, you can re-run the installer and check the box in the Python installer to add it to the System Path. SearchWithin will not
modify your Python install. It will create a separate virtual python environment and install the necessary libraies to it.
Do I need a CUDA Enabled NVIDIA GPU in order to run SearchWithin?
No. However, SearchWithin will load documents and reply to queries more quickly with a Cuda Enabled GPU. If you do not have a
GPU, we recommend using the Folder Page to pre-process all of your files at once. If you have an NVIDIA GPU but CUDA is not installed, SearchWithin
will prompt you to install CUDA from NVIDIA.
What is the Graph Page and how does it work
The Graph Page displays your documents in a 2 dimensional meaning space and color encodes clusters of documents with similar topics.
Left clicking on a document will open its summary in a dialog and allow you to open the document. Right key down enables scrolling.
Middle key down permits zooming. The Reset button returns the view to the original display.
