Show HN: AI Spotlight for Your Computer (natural language search for files)

Hi HN,

I built SEARCH WIZARD — a tool that lets you search your computer using natural language.

Traditional file search only works if you remember the filename.

But most of the time we remember things like:

"the screenshot where I was in a meeting" "the PDF about transformers" "notes about machine learning"

Smart Search indexes your files and lets you search by meaning instead of filename.

Currently supports: - Images - Videos - Audio - Documents

Example query: "old photo where a man is looking at a monitor"

The system retrieves the correct file instantly.

Everything runs locally except embeddings.

I'm looking for feedback on: - indexing approaches - privacy concerns - features you'd want in a tool like this
