fireSeqSearch: Append Logseq/Obsidian notes while Googling

Introduction

fireSeqSearch is inspired by Evernote's browser extension - if we search a term, for example, softmax in Google, fireSeqSearch will also search in our personal notebook, and append the hits into Google results.

How to use it

You need to install BOTH the server-side app and the browser extension. The server reads your logseq notebooks in read-only mode, and hosts endpoints at 127.0.0.1:3030.

Install Browser Extension

1. Install latest web extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireseqsearch/
2. If you're using other browser, you can install userscirpts instead. Tampermonkey => monkeyscript.user.js. Violentmonkey => violentmonkeyscript.user.js

Install Local Server

Obsidian MD users: Run fire_seq_search_server --notebook_path <path> --obsidian-md. Example obsidian.sh

Windows

Steps:

1. Download the latest release at https://github.com/Endle/fireSeqSearch/releases
2. If you're using PowerShell, run .\fire_seq_search_server.exe --notebook_path C:\Users\li\logseq_notebook
3. If you're using Msys2, run ./fire_seq_search_server --notebook_path /c/Users/li/logseq_notebook
4. Please remember to change the path to your notebook

Linux and macOS

1. Install rust. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html
2. git clone https://github.com/Endle/fireSeqSearch
3. cd fire_seq_search_server && cargo build
4. target/debug/fire_seq_search_server --notebook_path /home/li/my_notebook
5. Min rust version: See https://github.com/Endle/fireSeqSearch/blob/master/.github/workflows/rust.yml#L21

How it works

This is what fireSeqSearch does on my logseq notebook. I had to split it into two parts because Firefox extensions are not allowed to access local files.

fireSeqSearch has two parts:

1. search server

It read all local loseq notebooks, and hosts logseq pages on http://127.0.0.1:3030

It provides the API http://127.0.0.1:3030/query/

2. Browser extension

Every time we use search engine, it will fetch http://127.0.0.1:3030/query/keywordsand append all hits to the web page.
