I’m currently trying to build a ‚second brain’ for myself. I’m a Maths major and with the amount of theory I have to deal with some of it just gets lost in my memory. To avoid browsing through notes I want to group all the knowledge in one LaTex file and be able to search through my database in a smart way.
To be more precise I’d like to do searches like: ‚definition of …’ but also searches like ‚theorem saying that continuous functions on compact sets are uniformly continuous’. In the second case I’d like to receive as an answer cited theorem from my knowledge base (LaTex file) or multiple fitting options.
I’ve managed to solve all parsing problems and technical stuff, but I just can’t get the search mechanism to work properly. I’ve tried a few different approaches but none gives satisfying results. Can I get some recommendations as to how to solve a problem like this? Not sure if it’s relevant, but the db is in Polish.
Thanks for all the ideas and help.

Have you tried AI like Gemini? I find your problem interesting; but I am not technical enough to help you.
You can easily make a code without using AI, that searches for keywords.
You could also just use “control + f” to see what I mean
I too wanted to build this from long ago. I am currently learning the requirements to start building that. I am truly interested in knowing you progress
