 ## 🖥️ Command Line Interface
 
 LEANN includes a powerful CLI for document processing and search. Perfect for quick document indexing and interactive chat.
 
+### Installation
+
+If you followed the Quick Start, `leann` is already installed in your virtual environment:
 ```bash
-# Build an index from documents
-leann build my-docs --docs ./documents
+source .venv/bin/activate
+leann --help
+```
+
+**To make it globally available:**
+```bash
+# Install the LEANN CLI globally using uv tool
+uv tool install leann-core --with leann
+
+
+# Now you can use leann from anywhere without activating venv
+leann --help
+```
+
+> **Note**: Global installation is required for Claude Code integration. The `leann_mcp` server depends on the globally available `leann` command.
+
+
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# build from a specific directory, and my_docs is the index name(Here you can also build from multiple dict or multiple files)
+leann build my-docs --docs ./your_documents
 
 # Search your documents
 leann search my-docs "machine learning concepts"

+## 🚀 Advanced Features
+
+### 🎯 Metadata Filtering
+
+LEANN supports a simple metadata filtering system to enable sophisticated use cases like document filtering by date/type, code search by file extension, and content management based on custom criteria.
+
+```python
+# Add metadata during indexing
+builder.add_text(
+    "def authenticate_user(token): ...",
+    metadata={"file_extension": ".py", "lines_of_code": 25}
+)
+
+# Search with filters
+results = searcher.search(
+    query="authentication function",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "file_extension": {"==": ".py"},
+        "lines_of_code": {"<": 100}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+**Supported operators**: `==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `in`, `not_in`, `contains`, `starts_with`, `ends_with`, `is_true`, `is_false`
+
+📖 **[Complete Metadata filtering guide →](docs/metadata_filtering.md)**
+
+### 🔍 Grep Search
+
+For exact text matching instead of semantic search, use the `use_grep` parameter:
+
+```python
+# Exact text search
+results = searcher.search("banana‑crocodile", use_grep=True, top_k=1)
+```
+
+**Use cases**: Finding specific code patterns, error messages, function names, or exact phrases where semantic similarity isn't needed.

+# Thinking Budget Feature Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the implementation of the **thinking budget** feature for LEANN, which allows users to control the computational effort for reasoning models like GPT-Oss:20b.
+
+## Feature Description
+
+The thinking budget feature provides three levels of computational effort for reasoning models:
+- **`low`**: Fast responses, basic reasoning (default for simple queries)
+- **`medium`**: Balanced speed and reasoning depth
+- **`high`**: Maximum reasoning effort, best for complex analytical questions
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### 1. Command Line Interface
+
+Added `--thinking-budget` parameter to both CLI and RAG examples:
+
+```bash
+# LEANN CLI
+leann ask my-index --llm ollama --model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+
+# RAG Examples
+python apps/email_rag.py --llm ollama --llm-model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+python apps/document_rag.py --llm openai --llm-model o3 --thinking-budget medium
+```
+
+### 2. LLM Backend Support
+
+#### Ollama Backend (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/chat.py`)
+
+```python
+def ask(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
+    # Handle thinking budget for reasoning models
+    options = kwargs.copy()
+    thinking_budget = kwargs.get("thinking_budget")
+    if thinking_budget:
+        options.pop("thinking_budget", None)
+        if thinking_budget in ["low", "medium", "high"]:
+            options["reasoning"] = {"effort": thinking_budget, "exclude": False}
+```
+
+**API Format**: Uses Ollama's `reasoning` parameter with `effort` and `exclude` fields.
+
+#### OpenAI Backend (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/chat.py`)
+
+```python
+def ask(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
+    # Handle thinking budget for reasoning models
+    thinking_budget = kwargs.get("thinking_budget")
+    if thinking_budget and thinking_budget in ["low", "medium", "high"]:
+        # Check if this is an o-series model
+        o_series_models = ["o3", "o3-mini", "o4-mini", "o1", "o3-pro", "o3-deep-research"]
+        if any(model in self.model for model in o_series_models):
+            params["reasoning_effort"] = thinking_budget
+```
+
+**API Format**: Uses OpenAI's `reasoning_effort` parameter for o-series models.
+
+### 3. Parameter Propagation
+
+The thinking budget parameter is properly propagated through the LEANN architecture:
+
+1. **CLI** (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/cli.py`): Captures `--thinking-budget` argument
+2. **Base RAG** (`apps/base_rag_example.py`): Adds parameter to argument parser
+3. **LeannChat** (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/api.py`): Passes `llm_kwargs` to LLM
+4. **LLM Interface**: Handles the parameter in backend-specific implementations
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### Core Implementation
+- `packages/leann-core/src/leann/chat.py`: Added thinking budget support to OllamaChat and OpenAIChat
+- `packages/leann-core/src/leann/cli.py`: Added `--thinking-budget` argument
+- `apps/base_rag_example.py`: Added thinking budget parameter to RAG examples
+
+### Documentation
+- `README.md`: Added thinking budget parameter to usage examples
+- `docs/configuration-guide.md`: Added detailed documentation and usage guidelines
+
+### Examples
+- `examples/thinking_budget_demo.py`: Comprehensive demo script with usage examples
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+```bash
+# High reasoning effort for complex questions
+leann ask my-index --llm ollama --model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+
+# Medium reasoning for balanced performance
+leann ask my-index --llm openai --model gpt-4o --thinking-budget medium
+
+# Low reasoning for fast responses
+leann ask my-index --llm ollama --model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget low
+```
+
+### RAG Examples
+```bash
+# Email RAG with high reasoning
+python apps/email_rag.py --llm ollama --llm-model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+
+# Document RAG with medium reasoning
+python apps/document_rag.py --llm openai --llm-model gpt-4o --thinking-budget medium
+```
+
+## Supported Models
+
+### Ollama Models
+- **GPT-Oss:20b**: Primary target model with reasoning capabilities
+- **Other reasoning models**: Any Ollama model that supports the `reasoning` parameter
+
+### OpenAI Models
+- **o3, o3-mini, o4-mini, o1**: o-series reasoning models with `reasoning_effort` parameter
+- **GPT-OSS models**: Models that support reasoning capabilities
+
+## Testing
+
+The implementation includes comprehensive testing:
+- Parameter handling verification
+- Backend-specific API format validation
+- CLI argument parsing tests
+- Integration with existing LEANN architecture

+# AST-Aware Code chunking guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers best practices for using AST-aware code chunking in LEANN. AST chunking provides better semantic understanding of code structure compared to traditional text-based chunking.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Enable AST chunking for mixed content (code + docs)
+python -m apps.document_rag --enable-code-chunking --data-dir ./my_project
+
+# Specialized code repository indexing
+python -m apps.code_rag --repo-dir ./my_codebase
+
+# Global CLI with AST support
+leann build my-code-index --docs ./src --use-ast-chunking
+```
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install LEANN with AST chunking support
+uv pip install -e "."
+```
+
+#### For normal users (PyPI install)
+- Use `pip install leann` or `uv pip install leann`.
+- `astchunk` is pulled automatically from PyPI as a dependency; no extra steps.
+
+#### For developers (from source, editable)
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yichuan-w/LEANN.git leann
+cd leann
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+uv sync
+```
+- This repo vendors `astchunk` as a git submodule at `packages/astchunk-leann` (our fork).
+- `[tool.uv.sources]` maps the `astchunk` package to that path in editable mode.
+- You can edit code under `packages/astchunk-leann` and Python will use your changes immediately (no separate `pip install astchunk` needed).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### When to Use AST Chunking
+
+✅ **Recommended for:**
+- Code repositories with multiple languages
+- Mixed documentation and code content
+- Complex codebases with deep function/class hierarchies
+- When working with Claude Code for code assistance
+
+❌ **Not recommended for:**
+- Pure text documents
+- Very large files (>1MB)
+- Languages not supported by tree-sitter
+
+### Optimal Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Recommended settings for most codebases
+python -m apps.code_rag \
+    --repo-dir ./src \
+    --ast-chunk-size 768 \
+    --ast-chunk-overlap 96 \
+    --exclude-dirs .git __pycache__ node_modules build dist
+```
+
+### Supported Languages
+
+| Extension | Language | Status |
+|-----------|----------|--------|
+| `.py` | Python | ✅ Full support |
+| `.java` | Java | ✅ Full support |
+| `.cs` | C# | ✅ Full support |
+| `.ts`, `.tsx` | TypeScript | ✅ Full support |
+| `.js`, `.jsx` | JavaScript | ✅ Via TypeScript parser |
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### Document RAG with Code Support
+
+```python
+# Enable code chunking in document RAG
+python -m apps.document_rag \
+    --enable-code-chunking \
+    --data-dir ./project \
+    --query "How does authentication work in the codebase?"
+```
+
+### Claude Code Integration
+
+When using with Claude Code MCP server, AST chunking provides better context for:
+- Code completion and suggestions
+- Bug analysis and debugging
+- Architecture understanding
+- Refactoring assistance
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Fallback to Traditional Chunking**
+   - Normal behavior for unsupported languages
+   - Check logs for specific language support
+
+2. **Performance with Large Files**
+   - Adjust `--max-file-size` parameter
+   - Use `--exclude-dirs` to skip unnecessary directories
+
+3. **Quality Issues**
+   - Try different `--ast-chunk-size` values (512, 768, 1024)
+   - Adjust overlap for better context preservation
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```bash
+export LEANN_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+python -m apps.code_rag --repo-dir ./my_code
+```
+
+## Migration from Traditional Chunking
+
+Existing workflows continue to work without changes. To enable AST chunking:
+
+```bash
+# Before
+python -m apps.document_rag --chunk-size 256
+
+# After (maintains traditional chunking for non-code files)
+python -m apps.document_rag --enable-code-chunking --chunk-size 256 --ast-chunk-size 768
+```

+# LEANN Configuration Guide
+
+This guide helps you optimize LEANN for different use cases and understand the trade-offs between various configuration options.
+
+## Getting Started: Simple is Better
+
+When first trying LEANN, start with a small dataset to quickly validate your approach:
+
+**For document RAG**: The default `data/` directory works perfectly - includes 2 AI research papers, Pride and Prejudice literature, and a technical report
+```bash
+python -m apps.document_rag --query "What techniques does LEANN use?"
+```
+
+**For other data sources**: Limit the dataset size for quick testing
+```bash
+# WeChat: Test with recent messages only
+python -m apps.wechat_rag --max-items 100 --query "What did we discuss about the project timeline?"
+
+# Browser history: Last few days
+python -m apps.browser_rag --max-items 500 --query "Find documentation about vector databases"
+
+# Email: Recent inbox
+python -m apps.email_rag --max-items 200 --query "Who sent updates about the deployment status?"
+```
+
+Once validated, scale up gradually:
+- 100 documents → 1,000 → 10,000 → full dataset (`--max-items -1`)
+- This helps identify issues early before committing to long processing times
+
+## Embedding Model Selection: Understanding the Trade-offs
+
+Based on our experience developing LEANN, embedding models fall into three categories:
+
+### Small Models (< 100M parameters)
+**Example**: `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (22M params)
+- **Pros**: Lightweight, fast for both indexing and inference
+- **Cons**: Lower semantic understanding, may miss nuanced relationships
+- **Use when**: Speed is critical, handling simple queries, interactive mode, or just experimenting with LEANN. If time is not a constraint, consider using a larger/better embedding model
+
+### Medium Models (100M-500M parameters)
+**Example**: `facebook/contriever` (110M params), `BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5` (110M params)
+- **Pros**: Balanced performance, good multilingual support, reasonable speed
+- **Cons**: Requires more compute than small models
+- **Use when**: Need quality results without extreme compute requirements, general-purpose RAG applications
+
+### Large Models (500M+ parameters)
+**Example**: `Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B` (600M params), `intfloat/multilingual-e5-large` (560M params)
+- **Pros**: Best semantic understanding, captures complex relationships, excellent multilingual support. **Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B achieves nearly OpenAI API performance!**
+- **Cons**: Slower inference, longer index build times
+- **Use when**: Quality is paramount and you have sufficient compute resources. **Highly recommended** for production use
+
+### Quick Start: Cloud and Local Embedding Options
+
+**OpenAI Embeddings (Fastest Setup)**
+For immediate testing without local model downloads(also if you [do not have GPU](https://github.com/yichuan-w/LEANN/issues/43) and do not care that much about your document leak, you should use this, we compute the embedding and recompute using openai API):
+```bash
+# Set OpenAI embeddings (requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
+--embedding-mode openai --embedding-model text-embedding-3-small
+```
+
+**Ollama Embeddings (Privacy-Focused)**
+For local embeddings with complete privacy:
+```bash
+# First, pull an embedding model
+ollama pull nomic-embed-text
+
+# Use Ollama embeddings
+--embedding-mode ollama --embedding-model nomic-embed-text
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Cloud vs Local Trade-offs</strong></summary>
+
+**OpenAI Embeddings** (`text-embedding-3-small/large`)
+- **Pros**: No local compute needed, consistently fast, high quality
+- **Cons**: Requires API key, costs money, data leaves your system, [known limitations with certain languages](https://yichuan-w.github.io/blog/lessons_learned_in_dev_leann/)
+- **When to use**: Prototyping, non-sensitive data, need immediate results
+
+**Local Embeddings**
+- **Pros**: Complete privacy, no ongoing costs, full control, can sometimes outperform OpenAI embeddings
+- **Cons**: Slower than cloud APIs, requires local compute resources
+- **When to use**: Production systems, sensitive data, cost-sensitive applications
+
+</details>
+
+## Index Selection: Matching Your Scale
+
+### HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World)
+**Best for**: Small to medium datasets (< 10M vectors) - **Default and recommended for extreme low storage**
+- Full recomputation required
+- High memory usage during build phase
+- Excellent recall (95%+)
+
+```bash
+# Optimal for most use cases
+--backend-name hnsw --graph-degree 32 --build-complexity 64
+```
+
+### DiskANN
+**Best for**: Large datasets, especially when you want `recompute=True`.
+
+**Key advantages:**
+- **Faster search** on large datasets (3x+ speedup vs HNSW in many cases)
+- **Smart storage**: `recompute=True` enables automatic graph partitioning for smaller indexes
+- **Better scaling**: Designed for 100k+ documents
+
+**Recompute behavior:**
+- `recompute=True` (recommended): Pure PQ traversal + final reranking - faster and enables partitioning
+- `recompute=False`: PQ + partial real distances during traversal - slower but higher accuracy
+
+```bash
+# Recommended for most use cases
+--backend-name diskann --graph-degree 32 --build-complexity 64
+```
+
+**Performance Benchmark**: Run `uv run benchmarks/diskann_vs_hnsw_speed_comparison.py` to compare DiskANN and HNSW on your system.
+
+## LLM Selection: Engine and Model Comparison
+
+### LLM Engines
+
+**OpenAI** (`--llm openai`)
+- **Pros**: Best quality, consistent performance, no local resources needed
+- **Cons**: Costs money ($0.15-2.5 per million tokens), requires internet, data privacy concerns
+- **Models**: `gpt-4o-mini` (fast, cheap), `gpt-4o` (best quality), `o3` (reasoning), `o3-mini` (reasoning, cheaper)
+- **Thinking Budget**: Use `--thinking-budget low/medium/high` for o-series reasoning models (o3, o3-mini, o4-mini)
+- **Note**: Our current default, but we recommend switching to Ollama for most use cases
+
+**Ollama** (`--llm ollama`)
+- **Pros**: Fully local, free, privacy-preserving, good model variety
+- **Cons**: Requires local GPU/CPU resources, slower than cloud APIs, need to install extra [ollama app](https://github.com/ollama/ollama?tab=readme-ov-file#ollama) and pre-download models by `ollama pull`
+- **Models**: `qwen3:0.6b` (ultra-fast), `qwen3:1.7b` (balanced), `qwen3:4b` (good quality), `qwen3:7b` (high quality), `deepseek-r1:1.5b` (reasoning)
+- **Thinking Budget**: Use `--thinking-budget low/medium/high` for reasoning models like GPT-Oss:20b
+
+**HuggingFace** (`--llm hf`)
+- **Pros**: Free tier available, huge model selection, direct model loading (vs Ollama's server-based approach)
+- **Cons**: More complex initial setup
+- **Models**: `Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-FP8`
+
+## Parameter Tuning Guide
+
+### Search Complexity Parameters
+
+**`--build-complexity`** (index building)
+- Controls thoroughness during index construction
+- Higher = better recall but slower build
+- Recommendations:
+  - 32: Quick prototyping
+  - 64: Balanced (default)
+  - 128: Production systems
+  - 256: Maximum quality
+
+**`--search-complexity`** (query time)
+- Controls search thoroughness
+- Higher = better results but slower
+- Recommendations:
+  - 16: Fast/Interactive search
+  - 32: High quality with diversity
+  - 64+: Maximum accuracy
+
+### Top-K Selection
+
+**`--top-k`** (number of retrieved chunks)
+- More chunks = better context but slower LLM processing
+- Should be always smaller than `--search-complexity`
+- Guidelines:
+  - 10-20: General questions (default: 20)
+  - 30+: Complex multi-hop reasoning requiring comprehensive context
+
+**Trade-off formula**:
+- Retrieval time ∝ log(n) × search_complexity
+- LLM processing time ∝ top_k × chunk_size
+- Total context = top_k × chunk_size tokens
+
+### Thinking Budget for Reasoning Models
+
+**`--thinking-budget`** (reasoning effort level)
+- Controls the computational effort for reasoning models
+- Options: `low`, `medium`, `high`
+- Guidelines:
+  - `low`: Fast responses, basic reasoning (default for simple queries)
+  - `medium`: Balanced speed and reasoning depth
+  - `high`: Maximum reasoning effort, best for complex analytical questions
+- **Supported Models**:
+  - **Ollama**: `gpt-oss:20b`, `gpt-oss:120b`
+  - **OpenAI**: `o3`, `o3-mini`, `o4-mini`, `o1` (o-series reasoning models)
+- **Note**: Models without reasoning support will show a warning and proceed without reasoning parameters
+- **Example**: `--thinking-budget high` for complex analytical questions
+
+**📖 For detailed usage examples and implementation details, check out [Thinking Budget Documentation](THINKING_BUDGET_FEATURE.md)**
+
+**💡 Quick Examples:**
+```bash
+# OpenAI o-series reasoning model
+python apps/document_rag.py --query "What are the main techniques LEANN explores?" \
+  --index-dir hnswbuild --backend hnsw \
+  --llm openai --llm-model o3 --thinking-budget medium
+
+# Ollama reasoning model
+python apps/document_rag.py --query "What are the main techniques LEANN explores?" \
+  --index-dir hnswbuild --backend hnsw \
+  --llm ollama --llm-model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+```
+
+### Graph Degree (HNSW/DiskANN)
+
+**`--graph-degree`**
+- Number of connections per node in the graph
+- Higher = better recall but more memory
+- HNSW: 16-32 (default: 32)
+- DiskANN: 32-128 (default: 64)
+
+
+## Performance Optimization Checklist
+
+### If Embedding is Too Slow
+
+1. **Switch to smaller model**:
+   ```bash
+   # From large model
+   --embedding-model Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
+   # To small model
+   --embedding-model sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
+   ```
+
+2. **Limit dataset size for testing**:
+   ```bash
+   --max-items 1000  # Process first 1k items only
+   ```
+
+3. **Use MLX on Apple Silicon** (optional optimization):
+   ```bash
+   --embedding-mode mlx --embedding-model mlx-community/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-8bit
+   ```
+    MLX might not be the best choice, as we tested and found that it only offers 1.3x acceleration compared to HF, so maybe using ollama is a better choice for embedding generation
+
+4. **Use Ollama**
+   ```bash
+   --embedding-mode ollama --embedding-model nomic-embed-text
+   ```
+   To discover additional embedding models in ollama, check out https://ollama.com/search?c=embedding or read more about embedding models at https://ollama.com/blog/embedding-models, please do check the model size that works best for you
+### If Search Quality is Poor
+
+1. **Increase retrieval count**:
+   ```bash
+   --top-k 30  # Retrieve more candidates
+   ```
+
+2. **Upgrade embedding model**:
+   ```bash
+   # For English
+   --embedding-model BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5
+   # For multilingual
+   --embedding-model intfloat/multilingual-e5-large
+   ```
+
+## Understanding the Trade-offs
+
+Every configuration choice involves trade-offs:
+
+| Factor | Small/Fast | Large/Quality |
+|--------|------------|---------------|
+| Embedding Model | `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` | `Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B` |
+| Chunk Size | 512 tokens | 128 tokens |
+| Index Type | HNSW | DiskANN |
+| LLM | `qwen3:1.7b` | `gpt-4o` |
+
+The key is finding the right balance for your specific use case. Start small and simple, measure performance, then scale up only where needed.
+
+## Low-resource setups
+
+If you don’t have a local GPU or builds/searches are too slow, use one or more of the options below.
+
+### 1) Use OpenAI embeddings (no local compute)
+
+Fastest path with zero local GPU requirements. Set your API key and use OpenAI embeddings during build and search:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+
+# Build with OpenAI embeddings
+leann build my-index \
+  --embedding-mode openai \
+  --embedding-model text-embedding-3-small
+
+# Search with OpenAI embeddings (recompute at query time)
+leann search my-index "your query" \
+  --recompute
+```
+
+### 2) Run remote builds with SkyPilot (cloud GPU)
+
+Offload embedding generation and index building to a GPU VM using [SkyPilot](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). A template is provided at `sky/leann-build.yaml`.
+
+```bash
+# One-time: install and configure SkyPilot
+pip install skypilot
+
+# Launch with defaults (L4:1) and mount ./data to ~/leann-data; the build runs automatically
+sky launch -c leann-gpu sky/leann-build.yaml
+
+# Override parameters via -e key=value (optional)
+sky launch -c leann-gpu sky/leann-build.yaml \
+  -e index_name=my-index \
+  -e backend=hnsw \
+  -e embedding_mode=sentence-transformers \
+  -e embedding_model=Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
+
+# Copy the built index back to your local .leann (use rsync)
+rsync -Pavz leann-gpu:~/.leann/indexes/my-index ./.leann/indexes/
+```
+
+### 3) Disable recomputation to trade storage for speed
+
+If you need lower latency and have more storage/memory, disable recomputation. This stores full embeddings and avoids recomputing at search time.
+
+```bash
+# Build without recomputation (HNSW requires non-compact in this mode)
+leann build my-index --no-recompute --no-compact
+
+# Search without recomputation
+leann search my-index "your query" --no-recompute
+```
+
+When to use:
+- Extreme low latency requirements (high QPS, interactive assistants)
+- Read-heavy workloads where storage is cheaper than latency
+- No always-available GPU
+
+Constraints:
+- HNSW: when `--no-recompute` is set, LEANN automatically disables compact mode during build
+- DiskANN: supported; `--no-recompute` skips selective recompute during search
+
+Storage impact:
+- Storing N embeddings of dimension D with float32 requires approximately N × D × 4 bytes
+- Example: 1,000,000 chunks × 768 dims × 4 bytes ≈ 2.86 GB (plus graph/metadata)
+
+Converting an existing index (rebuild required):
+```bash
+# Rebuild in-place (ensure you still have original docs or can regenerate chunks)
+leann build my-index --force --no-recompute --no-compact
+```
+
+Python API usage:
+```python
+from leann import LeannSearcher
+
+searcher = LeannSearcher("/path/to/my-index.leann")
+results = searcher.search("your query", top_k=10, recompute_embeddings=False)
+```
+
+Trade-offs:
+- Lower latency and fewer network hops at query time
+- Significantly higher storage (10–100× vs selective recomputation)
+- Slightly larger memory footprint during build and search
+
+Quick benchmark results (`benchmarks/benchmark_no_recompute.py` with 5k texts, complexity=32):
+
+- HNSW
+
+  ```text
+  recompute=True:  search_time=0.818s, size=1.1MB
+  recompute=False: search_time=0.012s, size=16.6MB
+  ```
+
+- DiskANN
+
+  ```text
+  recompute=True:  search_time=0.041s, size=5.9MB
+  recompute=False: search_time=0.013s, size=24.6MB
+  ```
+
+Conclusion:
+- **HNSW**: `no-recompute` is significantly faster (no embedding recomputation) but requires much more storage (stores all embeddings)
+- **DiskANN**: `no-recompute` uses PQ + partial real distances during traversal (slower but higher accuracy), while `recompute=True` uses pure PQ traversal + final reranking (faster traversal, enables build-time partitioning for smaller storage)
+

+# LEANN Grep Search Usage Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+LEANN's grep search functionality provides exact text matching for finding specific code patterns, error messages, function names, or exact phrases in your indexed documents.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Simple Grep Search
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannSearcher
+
+searcher = LeannSearcher("your_index_path")
+
+# Exact text search
+results = searcher.search("def authenticate_user", use_grep=True, top_k=5)
+
+for result in results:
+    print(f"Score: {result.score}")
+    print(f"Text: {result.text[:100]}...")
+    print("-" * 40)
+```
+
+### Comparison: Semantic vs Grep Search
+
+```python
+# Semantic search - finds conceptually similar content
+semantic_results = searcher.search("machine learning algorithms", top_k=3)
+
+# Grep search - finds exact text matches
+grep_results = searcher.search("def train_model", use_grep=True, top_k=3)
+```
+
+## When to Use Grep Search
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **Code Search**: Finding specific function definitions, class names, or variable references
+- **Error Debugging**: Locating exact error messages or stack traces
+- **Documentation**: Finding specific API endpoints or exact terminology
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# Find function definitions
+functions = searcher.search("def __init__", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find import statements
+imports = searcher.search("from sklearn import", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find specific error types
+errors = searcher.search("FileNotFoundError", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find TODO comments
+todos = searcher.search("TODO:", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find configuration entries
+configs = searcher.search("server_port=", use_grep=True)
+```
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **File Location**: Grep search operates on the raw text stored in `.jsonl` files
+2. **Command Execution**: Uses the system `grep` command with case-insensitive search
+3. **Result Processing**: Parses JSON lines and extracts text and metadata
+4. **Scoring**: Simple frequency-based scoring based on query term occurrences
+
+### Search Process
+
+```
+Query: "def train_model"
+  ↓
+grep -i -n "def train_model" documents.leann.passages.jsonl
+  ↓
+Parse matching JSON lines
+  ↓
+Calculate scores based on term frequency
+  ↓
+Return top_k results
+```
+
+### Scoring Algorithm
+
+```python
+# Term frequency in document
+score = text.lower().count(query.lower())
+```
+
+Results are ranked by score (highest first), with higher scores indicating more occurrences of the search term.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Grep Command Not Found
+```
+RuntimeError: grep command not found. Please install grep or use semantic search.
+```
+
+**Solution**: Install grep on your system:
+- **Ubuntu/Debian**: `sudo apt-get install grep`
+- **macOS**: grep is pre-installed
+- **Windows**: Use WSL or install grep via Git Bash/MSYS2
+
+#### No Results Found
+```python
+# Check if your query exists in the raw data
+results = searcher.search("your_query", use_grep=True)
+if not results:
+    print("No exact matches found. Try:")
+    print("1. Check spelling and case")
+    print("2. Use partial terms")
+    print("3. Switch to semantic search")
+```

+# LEANN Metadata Filtering Usage Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+Leann possesses metadata filtering capabilities that allow you to filter search results based on arbitrary metadata fields set during chunking. This feature enables use cases like spoiler-free book search, document filtering by date/type, code search by file type, and potentially much more.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Adding Metadata to Your Documents
+
+When building your index, add metadata to each text chunk:
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannBuilder
+
+builder = LeannBuilder("hnsw")
+
+# Add text with metadata
+builder.add_text(
+    text="Chapter 1: Alice falls down the rabbit hole",
+    metadata={
+        "chapter": 1,
+        "character": "Alice",
+        "themes": ["adventure", "curiosity"],
+        "word_count": 150
+    }
+)
+
+builder.build_index("alice_in_wonderland_index")
+```
+
+### Searching with Metadata Filters
+
+Use the `metadata_filters` parameter in search calls:
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannSearcher
+
+searcher = LeannSearcher("alice_in_wonderland_index")
+
+# Search with filters
+results = searcher.search(
+    query="What happens to Alice?",
+    top_k=10,
+    metadata_filters={
+        "chapter": {"<=": 5},           # Only chapters 1-5
+        "spoiler_level": {"!=": "high"} # No high spoilers
+    }
+)
+```
+
+## Filter Syntax
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```python
+metadata_filters = {
+    "field_name": {"operator": value},
+    "another_field": {"operator": value}
+}
+```
+
+### Supported Operators
+
+#### Comparison Operators
+- `"=="`: Equal to
+- `"!="`: Not equal to
+- `"<"`: Less than
+- `"<="`: Less than or equal
+- `">"`: Greater than
+- `">="`: Greater than or equal
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"chapter": {"==": 1}}           # Exactly chapter 1
+{"page": {">": 100}}            # Pages after 100
+{"rating": {">=": 4.0}}         # Rating 4.0 or higher
+{"word_count": {"<": 500}}      # Short passages
+```
+
+#### Membership Operators
+- `"in"`: Value is in list
+- `"not_in"`: Value is not in list
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"character": {"in": ["Alice", "Bob"]}}      # Alice OR Bob
+{"genre": {"not_in": ["horror", "thriller"]}} # Exclude genres
+{"tags": {"in": ["fiction", "adventure"]}}   # Any of these tags
+```
+
+#### String Operators
+- `"contains"`: String contains substring
+- `"starts_with"`: String starts with prefix
+- `"ends_with"`: String ends with suffix
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"title": {"contains": "alice"}}        # Title contains "alice"
+{"filename": {"ends_with": ".py"}}      # Python files
+{"author": {"starts_with": "Dr."}}      # Authors with "Dr." prefix
+```
+
+#### Boolean Operators
+- `"is_true"`: Field is truthy
+- `"is_false"`: Field is falsy
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"is_published": {"is_true": True}}     # Published content
+{"is_draft": {"is_false": False}}       # Not drafts
+```
+
+### Multiple Operators on Same Field
+
+You can apply multiple operators to the same field (AND logic):
+
+```python
+metadata_filters = {
+    "word_count": {
+        ">=": 100,    # At least 100 words
+        "<=": 500     # At most 500 words
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Compound Filters
+
+Multiple fields are combined with AND logic:
+
+```python
+metadata_filters = {
+    "chapter": {"<=": 10},              # Up to chapter 10
+    "character": {"==": "Alice"},       # About Alice
+    "spoiler_level": {"!=": "high"}     # No major spoilers
+}
+```
+
+## Use Case Examples
+
+### 1. Spoiler-Free Book Search
+
+```python
+# Reader has only read up to chapter 5
+def search_spoiler_free(query, max_chapter):
+    return searcher.search(
+        query=query,
+        metadata_filters={
+            "chapter": {"<=": max_chapter},
+            "spoiler_level": {"in": ["none", "low"]}
+        }
+    )
+
+results = search_spoiler_free("What happens to Alice?", max_chapter=5)
+```
+
+### 2. Document Management by Date
+
+```python
+# Find recent documents
+recent_docs = searcher.search(
+    query="project updates",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "date": {">=": "2024-01-01"},
+        "document_type": {"==": "report"}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 3. Code Search by File Type
+
+```python
+# Search only Python files
+python_code = searcher.search(
+    query="authentication function",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "file_extension": {"==": ".py"},
+        "lines_of_code": {"<": 100}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 4. Content Filtering by Audience
+
+```python
+# Age-appropriate content
+family_content = searcher.search(
+    query="adventure stories",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "age_rating": {"in": ["G", "PG"]},
+        "content_warnings": {"not_in": ["violence", "adult_themes"]}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 5. Multi-Book Series Management
+
+```python
+# Search across first 3 books only
+early_series = searcher.search(
+    query="character development",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "series": {"==": "Harry Potter"},
+        "book_number": {"<=": 3}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+## Running the Example
+
+You can see metadata filtering in action with our spoiler-free book RAG example:
+
+```bash
+# Don't forget to set up the environment
+uv venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Set your OpenAI API key (required for embeddings, but you can update the example locally and use ollama instead)
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+
+# Run the spoiler-free book RAG example
+uv run examples/spoiler_free_book_rag.py
+```
+
+This example demonstrates:
+- Building an index with metadata (chapter numbers, characters, themes, locations)
+- Searching with filters to avoid spoilers (e.g., only show results up to chapter 5)
+- Different scenarios for readers at various points in the book
+
+The example uses Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as sample data and shows how you can search for information without revealing plot points from later chapters.
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Custom Chunking with metadata
+
+```python
+def chunk_book_with_metadata(book_text, book_info):
+    chunks = []
+
+    for chapter_num, chapter_text in parse_chapters(book_text):
+        # Extract entities, themes, etc.
+        characters = extract_characters(chapter_text)
+        themes = classify_themes(chapter_text)
+        spoiler_level = assess_spoiler_level(chapter_text, chapter_num)
+
+        # Create chunks with rich metadata
+        for paragraph in split_paragraphs(chapter_text):
+            chunks.append({
+                "text": paragraph,
+                "metadata": {
+                    "book_title": book_info["title"],
+                    "chapter": chapter_num,
+                    "characters": characters,
+                    "themes": themes,
+                    "spoiler_level": spoiler_level,
+                    "word_count": len(paragraph.split()),
+                    "reading_level": calculate_reading_level(paragraph)
+                }
+            })
+
+    return chunks
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Efficient Filtering Strategies
+
+1. **Post-search filtering**: Applies filters after vector search, which should be efficient for typical result sets (10-100 results).
+
+2. **Metadata design**: Keep metadata fields simple and avoid deeply nested structures.
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Consistent metadata schema**: Use consistent field names and value types across your documents.
+
+2. **Reasonable metadata size**: Keep metadata reasonably sized to avoid storage overhead.
+
+3. **Type consistency**: Use consistent data types for the same fields (e.g., always integers for chapter numbers).
+
+4. **Index multiple granularities**: Consider chunking at different levels (paragraph, section, chapter) with appropriate metadata.
+
+### Adding Metadata to Existing Indices
+
+To add metadata filtering to existing indices, you'll need to rebuild them with metadata:
+
+```python
+# Read existing passages and add metadata
+def add_metadata_to_existing_chunks(chunks):
+    for chunk in chunks:
+        # Extract or assign metadata based on content
+        chunk["metadata"] = extract_metadata(chunk["text"])
+    return chunks
+
+# Rebuild index with metadata
+enhanced_chunks = add_metadata_to_existing_chunks(existing_chunks)
+builder = LeannBuilder("hnsw")
+for chunk in enhanced_chunks:
+    builder.add_text(chunk["text"], chunk["metadata"])
+builder.build_index("enhanced_index")
+```

+"""Dynamic HNSW update demo without compact storage.
+
+This script reproduces the minimal scenario we used while debugging on-the-fly
+recompute:
+
+1. Build a non-compact HNSW index from the first few paragraphs of a text file.
+2. Print the top results with `recompute_embeddings=True`.
+3. Append additional paragraphs with :meth:`LeannBuilder.update_index`.
+4. Run the same query again to show the newly inserted passages.
+
+Run it with ``uv`` (optionally pointing LEANN_HNSW_LOG_PATH at a file to inspect
+ZMQ activity)::
+
+    LEANN_HNSW_LOG_PATH=embedding_fetch.log \
+    uv run -m examples.dynamic_update_no_recompute \
+      --index-path .leann/examples/leann-demo.leann
+
+By default the script builds an index from ``data/2501.14312v1 (1).pdf`` and
+then updates it with LEANN-related material from ``data/2506.08276v1.pdf``.
+It issues the query "What's LEANN?" before and after the update to show how the
+new passages become immediately searchable. The script uses the
+``sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2`` model with ``is_recompute=True`` so
+Faiss pulls existing vectors on demand via the ZMQ embedding server, while
+freshly added passages are embedded locally just like the initial build.
+
+To make storage comparisons easy, the script can also build a matching
+``is_recompute=False`` baseline (enabled by default) and report the index size
+delta after the update. Disable the baseline run with
+``--skip-compare-no-recompute`` if you only need the recompute flow.
