I'm using the cli (duh) and it seems to lack options for indexing. I want to run a local qdrant db with nomic-embed-code on ollama instead of the managed indexing, but the instructions all assume vscode. Is this something we can just add to the config.json? If so, an example would be great.

I have here https://github.com/mikij/kilo/tree/feat/codebase-search-tool a working version of codebase_search tool for CLI. It reuses VSCode extension indexing I have setup on cloud QDrant using codestral-embed model
