I tried the search using Slavic language (all my notes are in Slovene) - it performed very poorly: if the searched keyword was not directly in the note itself, the search results seemed to be more or less random.

So you're saying you got no results when searching for patterns which did not exist in the dataset...?

There was always full list of results. They just weren't relevant.

Yes, I confirm. I have many articles in Russian language and the search can not find relative information, but if I try to search in English it works fine and can find documents that use English

Search should work with Slavic languages including Russian and 50+ other languages.

You'll just need to configure the asymmetric search model khoj uses to paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 in your ~/.khoj/khoj.yml config file

Khoj chat with Llama2 will not work with non-english languages though. You'll have to enable OpenAI for that
