Search

  • Two-phase progressive search — Phase 1 returns instant title matches, Phase 2 fills in full-text results with live timer
  • SQLite title indexes — persistent per-ZIM indexes built on first startup. Single-word queries under 1ms, multi-word via FTS5 under 2s
  • FTS5 threshold — ZIMs with >2M entries skip FTS5 at build time. Enable on-demand from the manage UI

Collections

  • Named collections — group ZIMs into sets for scoped search via API, MCP, or web UI
  • Category-grouped picker — ZIMs organized by category when editing collections

Library Manager

  • Server stats — request counts, latency, cache hit rates, title index status, disk usage
  • On-demand deep search — build FTS5 for large ZIMs from the stats tab
  • Safe delete — two-click confirmation prevents accidental collection deletion

Data

  • ZIMI_DATA_DIR — dedicated data directory for indexes, cache, and config. Auto-migrates from v1.1
  • Storage — title indexes use ~2–3% of total ZIM size on disk

Performance (55 ZIMs, spinning disk)

Scenario Before After
Title search (single word, cold) 40s under 1ms
Title search (multi-word, cold) 40s+ under 2s
Full-text search 12–55s unchanged

Other

  • Per-ZIM suggestion cache (15min TTL, 500 entries)
  • MCP collection support in search and suggest tools
  • iOS Safari zoom fix
  • 63 unit tests
