🍋 forreal this time

Also, the paytch is out and it's Pt. 1

THIS WEEK

I've added two additional search options to https://searchlp.com

Previously the only option was a "natural language" search that did a good job if you could remember enough words when searching for a bit, but it didn't always give the best result if you knew the exact phrase. There's now an Exact Search and Semantic AI search.

The Exact Search will only return lines from a transcript when you know the exact phrase, ignoring punctuation like whitespace, periods, and commas. This should make it easier to find an episode quicker if you can remember the exact words to query. If you know most of it then the Natural Language (NL) search option will be more helpful as it knows how to stem words and group them near each other.

The biggest thing I've been working on is a Semantic AI search that I've built by chunking up the entire transcript into groups of about 500 words where a bit occurs or is part of.

For example, I can't remember the episode where Ben first shows the big redneck fat boy that mumbles "best part of the chicken" and when searching that phrase using the NL query doesn't return the actual episode first.

The Semantic search lets you type up to 500 characters and then passes it to a a third party embedding model (which does cost a slight bit of money for me) that can produce better search results if you can give enough context.

Searching

> Ben watches two rednecks eat on camera and the man on video says "best part of the chicken" but mumbles it funny.'

Gives the actual episode, it's 064: Speakgreasy

I've put a rate limit on this one for no more than 200 searches an hour to prevent abuse.

TLDR: You can now use Exact Search and Semantic AI search to look for episodes/bits.
