This is what Spotlight on macOS is doing for all files by default, just in case you didn't know?

Does it? I thought spotlight was basically a text search. I didn’t think you could search for concepts.

That's cool. I didn't know spotlight did that. Does it work for files that aren't in iCloud?

[dylan604]

It works on local files yes

It will only find exact matches though. No synonyms etc.

That's right. Though, I expect that this may change with the next macOS version this year. They (probably) have the knowledge how to apply a good embedding model on all text files, and their hardware is capable of doing it in an efficient way.
