One thing I would really like for my notes is some sort of AI or fuzzy thesaurus-aware search, so I can enter a search phrase and get "similar" matches from all my local files, not just "exact" matches like you'd get from grep.

Does such a thing exist in emacs?

I have also been thinking along these lines, recently. We need better local search tools, ideally without having to build extra indices.

Even a simple para oriented fuzzy search might be a good place to start.
