Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Open Semantic Search Guide ## Overview Open Semantic Search is a self-hosted search and text mining platform that combines full-text search (Apache Solr) with semantic analysis — entity extraction, named entity recognition, text classification, and knowledge graph building. Process and search across documents (PDF, DOCX, emails) with faceted navigation and visual analytics. Ideal for researchers needing private, on-premise document search over large paper collections. ## Installation ```bash # Docker deployment (recommended) git clone https://github.com/opensemanticsearch/open-semantic-search.git cd open-semantic-search docker-compose up -d # Access web UI at http://localhost:8080 # Admin panel at http://localhost:8080/admin ``` ## Architecture ``` Documents (PDF, DOCX, HTML, email) ↓ Connector/Crawler (file system, web, IMAP) ↓ ETL Pipeline ├── Text extraction (Apache Tika) ├── OCR (Tesseract, for scanned docs) ├── NER (spaCy, Stanford NER) ├── Entity linking (knowledge base) └── Classification (custom models) ↓ Apache Solr (full-text index + facets) ↓ Web UI (search, browse, visualize) ``` ## Indexing Documents ```bash # Index a directory of papers curl -X POST "http://localhos

What does the open-semantic-search-guide skill do?
Self-hosted semantic search and text mining platform
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill open-semantic-search-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
