QMD is an on-device search engine for markdown-based knowledge bases. It provides three search modes with increasing quality/latency tradeoffs, plus document retrieval capabilities. All processing runs locally using embedded GGUF models.

Choose the appropriate search mode based on the query type:

| -n | Number of results (default: 5) | | --json | JSON output for parsing | | --files | TSV format: docid, score, filepath | | -c | Restrict to specific collection | | --min-score | Minimum relevance threshold (0-1) | | -l | Max lines per document |
