v0.1.3 Initial Release

Release Notes - v0.1.3 🚀

We are proud to announce the Initial Release of Searchless-ngx (v0.1.3), the first production-ready version of our Agentic RAG MCP Server for Paperless-ngx.

What is Searchless-ngx?

Searchless-ngx transforms your Paperless-ngx instance from a static archive into an intelligent, conversational agent. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agentic RAG, it allows modern LLMs (like Gemini or GPT-4) to natively search, filter, and reason over your personal documents.

Key Features in this Release

🎴 Professional Markdown "Cards"

Search results are now presented as high-quality interactive cards designed specifically for Open WebUI:

• Linked Headers: Document titles link directly to the document detail view in Paperless.
• Dynamic Deep-Linking: Correspondent names and Tags are now clickable links that filter for related documents.
• Structural Preservation: OCR snippets now respect original line breaks and paragraph structure.
• Concise Layout: Strict 7-line snippet limits keep your chat clean and readable.

🔍 Advanced Hybrid Search

• Exact Metadata API: Leverage the full power of Paperless-ngx filtering (correspondents, tags, dates).
• Semantic Vector Search: Use ChromaDB and Gemini embeddings to find documents by meaning (e.g., "Find food receipts from Berlin").
• Custom Field Visibility: Custom fields are beautifully integrated and resolved into readable names.

🏗️ Enterprise-Grade Reliability

• Paginated Cache: Efficiently handles large libraries with hundreds of tags and correspondents.
• Strict JSON Schema: 100% compatible with strict MCP parsers (no anyOf or null types).
• Comprehensive Verification: This release is verified by a full suite of 17 automated tests covering all core components.
