QMD

QMD is the local document-search layer used alongside OpenClaw. On the current machine it is operational for lexical retrieval and partially constrained for vector-heavy workflows.

Key Ideas

  • QMD is installed locally and used as a search/index layer rather than as the source of truth.
  • BM25 search is working reliably.
  • Vector and hybrid search are limited on the current Apple M1 setup.
  • The indexed collections include OpenClaw memories and workspace-oriented corpora.
  • Maintenance mainly centers on qmd update, with embeddings handled more selectively.
