LocalSearcher

A lightweight vector database for text retrieval in R with embedded
machine learning models and no external API (Application Programming
Interface) keys. Supports dense and hybrid search, optional HNSW
(Hierarchical Navigable Small World) approximate nearest-neighbor indexing,
faceted filters with ACL (Access Control List) metadata, command-line
tools, and a local dashboard built with 'shiny'. The HNSW method is
described by Malkov and Yashunin (2018) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2018.2889473>.
