Regarding your last point: yes, 20MB is a lot, but the whole point of it is to have it all on client side, within a single component you install. You can already achieve the functionality you mention with the standard MUI's autocomplete. That being said, I'll look into ways to use smaller models.

This makes sense, thank you very much for the feedback!

Another demo idea I had is to have an input field where the user can enter a GitHub username, retrieve all the starred repositories, and enable semantic search on the titles and descriptions of those repositories.

The main idea is that users will typically enter their own usernames, and therefore, they are familiar with the repositories they have starred, which provides a better search experience when testing the component.

Let me know if something else would work better for you.

I wasn't expecting it, but I actually got some votes <3, so here is a better description:

This is a React component for searching/sorting by meaning (not by "characters included in a string", like standard search).

It uses a small ML model that runs on client side (inside the component!). When I say small, I mean ~20MB. The model will be downloaded only once (first time) and afterwards imported from browser's cache.

You can use this component to search and filter by meaning a dropdown list or an external list (like paragraphs of a webpage). You can search with sentences on sentences, not just with small words/substrings.
