Thanks for recalling the earlier discussion. It includes testimonials to Emacs org-mode, and to the Zettelkasten package built atop org-mode, org-roam.

Org-mode can't be beat, IMO, if you live in Emacs all day long, as I do.

One thing I would really like for my notes is some sort of AI or fuzzy thesaurus-aware search, so I can enter a search phrase and get "similar" matches from all my local files, not just "exact" matches like you'd get from grep.

Does such a thing exist in emacs?

I have also been thinking along these lines, recently. We need better local search tools, ideally without having to build extra indices.

Even a simple para oriented fuzzy search might be a good place to start.
