+# 🚀 FSS-Mini-RAG: Get Started in 2 Minutes
+
+## Step 1: Install Everything
+```bash
+./install_mini_rag.sh
+```
+**That's it!** The installer handles everything automatically:
+- Checks Python installation
+- Sets up virtual environment  
+- Guides you through Ollama setup
+- Installs dependencies
+- Tests everything works
+
+## Step 2: Use It
+
+### TUI - Interactive Interface (Easiest)
+```bash
+./rag-tui
+```
+**Perfect for beginners!** Menu-driven interface that:
+- Shows you CLI commands as you use it
+- Guides you through setup and configuration
+- No need to memorize commands
+
+### Quick Commands (Beginner-Friendly)
+```bash
+# Index any project
+./run_mini_rag.sh index ~/my-project
+
+# Search your code  
+./run_mini_rag.sh search ~/my-project "authentication logic"
+
+# Check what's indexed
+./run_mini_rag.sh status ~/my-project
+```
+
+### Full Commands (More Options)
+```bash
+# Basic indexing and search
+./rag-mini index /path/to/project
+./rag-mini search /path/to/project "database connection"
+
+# Enhanced search with smart features
+./rag-mini-enhanced search /path/to/project "UserManager"
+./rag-mini-enhanced similar /path/to/project "def validate_input"
+```
+
+## What You Get
+
+**Semantic Search**: Instead of exact text matching, finds code by meaning:
+- Search "user login" → finds authentication functions, session management, password validation
+- Search "database queries" → finds SQL, ORM code, connection handling  
+- Search "error handling" → finds try/catch blocks, error classes, logging
+
+## Installation Options
+
+The installer offers two choices:
+
+**Light Installation (Recommended)**:
+- Uses Ollama for high-quality embeddings
+- Requires Ollama installed (installer guides you)
+- Small download (~50MB)
+
+**Full Installation**:  
+- Includes ML fallback models
+- Works without Ollama
+- Large download (~2-3GB)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Python not found"**: Install Python 3.8+ from python.org
+**"Ollama not found"**: Visit https://ollama.ai/download
+**"Import errors"**: Re-run `./install_mini_rag.sh`
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- **Technical Details**: Read `README.md`
+- **Step-by-Step Guide**: Read `docs/GETTING_STARTED.md`
+- **Examples**: Check `examples/` directory
+- **Test It**: Run on this project: `./run_mini_rag.sh index .`
+

+# FSS-Mini-RAG
+
+> **A lightweight, educational RAG system that actually works**  
+> *Built for beginners who want results, and developers who want to understand how RAG really works*

+```
+
+## What This Is
+
+FSS-Mini-RAG is a distilled, lightweight implementation of a production-quality RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) search system. Born from 2 years of building, refining, and tuning RAG systems - from enterprise-scale solutions handling 14,000 queries/second to lightweight implementations that anyone can install and understand.
+
+**The Problem This Solves**: Most RAG implementations are either too simple (poor results) or too complex (impossible to understand and modify). This bridges that gap.
+
+## Quick Start (2 Minutes)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install everything
+./install_mini_rag.sh
+
+# 2. Start using it
+./rag-tui                    # Friendly interface for beginners
+# OR
+./rag-mini index ~/my-project     # Direct CLI for developers
+./rag-mini search ~/my-project "authentication logic"
+```
+
+That's it. No external dependencies, no configuration required, no PhD in computer science needed.
+
+## What Makes This Different
+
+### For Beginners
+- **Just works** - Zero configuration required
+- **Multiple interfaces** - TUI for learning, CLI for speed
+- **Educational** - Shows you CLI commands as you use the TUI
+- **Solid results** - Finds code by meaning, not just keywords
+
+### For Developers
+- **Hackable** - Clean, documented code you can actually modify
+- **Configurable** - YAML config for everything, or change the code directly
+- **Multiple embedding options** - Ollama, ML models, or hash-based
+- **Production patterns** - Streaming, batching, error handling, monitoring
+
+### For Learning
+- **Complete technical documentation** - How chunking, embedding, and search actually work
+- **Educational tests** - See the system in action with real examples
+- **No magic** - Every decision explained, every component documented
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Find Code by Concept
+```bash
+./rag-mini search ~/project "user authentication"
+# Finds: login functions, auth middleware, session handling, password validation
+```
+
+### Natural Language Queries  
+```bash
+./rag-mini search ~/project "error handling for database connections"
+# Finds: try/catch blocks, connection pool error handlers, retry logic
+```
+
+### Development Workflow
+```bash
+./rag-mini index ~/new-project              # Index once
+./rag-mini search ~/new-project "API endpoints"   # Search as needed
+./rag-mini status ~/new-project            # Check index health
+```
+
+## Installation Options
+
+### Recommended: Full Installation
+```bash
+./install_mini_rag.sh
+# Handles Python setup, dependencies, optional AI models
+```
+
+### Experimental: Copy & Run (May Not Work)
+```bash
+# Copy folder anywhere and try to run directly
+./rag-mini index ~/my-project
+# Auto-setup will attempt to create environment
+# Falls back with clear instructions if it fails
+```
+
+### Manual Setup
+```bash
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note**: The experimental copy & run feature is provided for convenience but may fail on some systems. If you encounter issues, use the full installer for reliable setup.
+
+## System Requirements
+
+- **Python 3.8+** (installer checks and guides setup)
+- **Optional: Ollama** (for best search quality - installer helps set up)
+- **Fallback: Works without external dependencies** (uses built-in embeddings)
+
+## Project Philosophy
+
+This implementation prioritizes:
+
+1. **Educational Value** - You can understand and modify every part
+2. **Practical Results** - Actually finds relevant code, not just keyword matches  
+3. **Zero Friction** - Works out of the box, configurable when needed
+4. **Real-world Patterns** - Production techniques in beginner-friendly code
+
+## What's Inside
+
+- **Hybrid embedding system** - Ollama → ML → Hash fallbacks
+- **Smart chunking** - Language-aware code parsing 
+- **Vector + keyword search** - Best of both worlds
+- **Streaming architecture** - Handles large codebases efficiently
+- **Multiple interfaces** - TUI, CLI, Python API, server mode
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- **New users**: Run `./rag-mini` for guided experience
+- **Developers**: Read [`TECHNICAL_GUIDE.md`](docs/TECHNICAL_GUIDE.md) for implementation details
+- **Contributors**: See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) for development setup
+

+# Icon Placeholder
+
+The current `icon.svg` is a simple placeholder. Here's the design concept:
+
+🔍 **Search magnifying glass** - Core search functionality  
+📄 **Code brackets** - Code-focused system  
+🧠 **Neural network dots** - AI/embedding intelligence  
+📝 **Text lines** - Document processing  
+
+## Design Ideas for Final Icon
+
+- **Colors**: Blue (#1976d2) for trust/tech, Green (#4caf50) for code, Orange (#ff9800) for AI
+- **Elements**: Search + Code + AI/Brain + Simplicity
+- **Style**: Clean, modern, friendly (not intimidating)
+- **Size**: Works well at 32x32 and 128x128
+
+## Suggested Improvements
+
+1. More polished magnifying glass with reflection
+2. Cleaner code bracket styling  
+3. More sophisticated neural network representation
+4. Perhaps a small "mini" indicator to emphasize lightweight nature
+5. Consider a folder or document icon to represent project indexing
+
+The current SVG provides the basic structure and can be refined into a professional icon.

+# RAG System - Hybrid Mode Setup
+
+This RAG system can operate in three modes:
+
+## 🚀 **Mode 1: Ollama Only (Recommended - Lightweight)**
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements-light.txt
+# Requires: ollama serve running with nomic-embed-text model
+```
+- **Size**: ~426MB total  
+- **Performance**: Fastest (leverages Ollama)
+- **Network**: Uses local Ollama server
+
+## 🔄 **Mode 2: Hybrid (Best of Both Worlds)** 
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements-full.txt  
+# Works with OR without Ollama
+```
+- **Size**: ~3GB total (includes ML fallback)
+- **Resilience**: Automatic fallback if Ollama unavailable
+- **Performance**: Ollama speed when available, ML fallback when needed
+
+## 🛡️ **Mode 3: ML Only (Maximum Compatibility)**
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements-full.txt
+# Disable Ollama fallback in config
+```
+- **Size**: ~3GB total
+- **Compatibility**: Works anywhere, no external dependencies
+- **Use case**: Offline environments, embedded systems
+
+## 🔧 **Configuration**
+
+Edit `.claude-rag/config.json` in your project:
+```json
+{
+  "embedding": {
+    "provider": "hybrid",           // "hybrid", "ollama", "fallback"  
+    "model": "nomic-embed-text:latest",
+    "base_url": "http://localhost:11434",
+    "enable_fallback": true         // Set to false to disable ML fallback
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 📊 **Status Check**
+```python
+from claude_rag.ollama_embeddings import OllamaEmbedder
+
+embedder = OllamaEmbedder()
+status = embedder.get_status()
+print(f"Mode: {status['mode']}")
+print(f"Ollama: {'✅' if status['ollama_available'] else '❌'}")
+print(f"ML Fallback: {'✅' if status['fallback_available'] else '❌'}")
+```
+
+## 🎯 **Automatic Behavior**
+1. **Try Ollama first** - fastest and most efficient
+2. **Fall back to ML** - if Ollama unavailable and ML dependencies installed  
+3. **Use hash fallback** - deterministic embeddings as last resort
+
+The system automatically detects what's available and uses the best option!

+```bash
+# Basic semantic search
+./rag-mini search /path/to/project "user login logic"
+
+# Enhanced search with smart features  
+./rag-mini-enhanced search /path/to/project "authentication"
+
+# Find similar patterns
+./rag-mini-enhanced similar /path/to/project "def validate_input"
+```
+
+## Step 5: Customize Configuration
+
+Edit `project/.claude-rag/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "chunking": {
+    "max_size": 3000,
+    "strategy": "semantic"  
+  },
+  "files": {
+    "min_file_size": 100
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then re-index to apply changes:
+```bash
+./rag-mini index /path/to/project --force
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### Find Functions by Name
+```bash
+./rag-mini search /project "function named connect_to_database"

+./rag-mini search /project "database connection settings"
+./rag-mini search /project "environment variables"
+```
+
+### Find Documentation
+```bash
+./rag-mini search /project "how to deploy" 
+./rag-mini search /project "API documentation"
+```
+
+## Python API Usage
+
+```python
+from claude_rag import ProjectIndexer, CodeSearcher, CodeEmbedder
+from pathlib import Path
+
+# Initialize
+project_path = Path("/path/to/your/project")
+embedder = CodeEmbedder()
+indexer = ProjectIndexer(project_path, embedder)
+searcher = CodeSearcher(project_path, embedder)
+
+# Index the project
+print("Indexing project...")
+result = indexer.index_project()
+print(f"Indexed {result['files_processed']} files, {result['chunks_created']} chunks")
+
+# Search
+print("\nSearching for authentication code...")
+results = searcher.search("user authentication logic", limit=5)
+
+for i, result in enumerate(results, 1):
+    print(f"\n{i}. {result.file_path}")
+    print(f"   Score: {result.score:.3f}")
+    print(f"   Type: {result.chunk_type}")
+    print(f"   Content: {result.content[:100]}...")
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Auto-optimization
+```bash
+# Get optimization suggestions
+./rag-mini-enhanced analyze /path/to/project
+
+# This analyzes your codebase and suggests:
+# - Better chunk sizes for your language mix
+# - Streaming settings for large files
+# - File filtering optimizations
+```
+
+### File Watching
+```python  
+from claude_rag import FileWatcher
+
+# Watch for file changes and auto-update index
+watcher = FileWatcher(project_path, indexer)
+watcher.start_watching()
+
+# Now any file changes automatically update the index
+```
+
+### Custom Chunking
+```python
+from claude_rag import CodeChunker
+
+chunker = CodeChunker()
+
+# Chunk a Python file
+with open("example.py") as f:
+    content = f.read()
+
+chunks = chunker.chunk_text(content, "python", "example.py")
+for chunk in chunks:
+    print(f"Type: {chunk.chunk_type}")
+    print(f"Content: {chunk.content}")
+```
+
+## Tips and Best Practices
+
+### For Better Search Results
+- Use descriptive phrases: "function that validates email addresses" 
+- Try different phrasings if first search doesn't work
+- Search for concepts, not just exact variable names
+
+### For Better Indexing
+- Exclude build directories: `node_modules/`, `build/`, `dist/`
+- Include documentation files - they often contain valuable context
+- Use semantic chunking strategy for most projects
+
+### For Configuration  
+- Start with default settings
+- Use `analyze` command to get optimization suggestions
+- Increase chunk size for larger functions/classes
+- Decrease chunk size for more granular search
+
+### For Troubleshooting
+- Check `./rag-mini status` to see what was indexed
+- Look at `.claude-rag/manifest.json` for file details
+- Run with `--force` to completely rebuild index
+- Check logs in `.claude-rag/` directory for errors
+
+## What's Next?
+
+1. Try the test suite to understand how components work:
+   ```bash
+   python -m pytest tests/ -v
+   ```
+
+2. Look at the examples in `examples/` directory
+
+3. Read the main README.md for complete technical details
+
+4. Customize the system for your specific project needs

+# 🎯 FSS-Mini-RAG Smart Tuning Guide
+
+## 🚀 **Performance Improvements Implemented**
+
+### **1. 📊 Intelligent Analysis**
+```bash
+# Analyze your project patterns and get optimization suggestions
+./rag-mini-enhanced analyze /path/to/project
+
+# Get smart recommendations based on actual usage
+./rag-mini-enhanced status /path/to/project
+```
+
+**What it analyzes:**
+- Language distribution and optimal chunking strategies
+- File size patterns for streaming optimization  
+- Chunk-to-file ratios for search quality
+- Large file detection for performance tuning
+
+### **2. 🧠 Smart Search Enhancement**
+```bash
+# Enhanced search with query intelligence
+./rag-mini-enhanced search /project "MyClass"     # Detects class names
+./rag-mini-enhanced search /project "login()"     # Detects function calls  
+./rag-mini-enhanced search /project "user auth"   # Natural language
+
+# Context-aware search (planned)
+./rag-mini-enhanced context /project "function_name"  # Show surrounding code
+./rag-mini-enhanced similar /project "pattern"        # Find similar patterns
+```
+
+### **3. ⚙️ Language-Specific Optimizations**
+
+**Automatic tuning based on your project:**
+- **Python projects**: Function-level chunking, 3000 char chunks
+- **Documentation**: Header-based chunking, preserve structure
+- **Config files**: Smaller chunks, skip huge JSONs
+- **Mixed projects**: Adaptive strategies per file type
+
+### **4. 🔄 Auto-Optimization**
+
+The system automatically suggests improvements based on:
+```
+📈 Your Project Analysis:
+   - 76 Python files → Use function-level chunking
+   - 63 Markdown files → Use header-based chunking  
+   - 47 large files → Reduce streaming threshold to 5KB
+   - 1.5 chunks/file → Consider smaller chunks for better search
+```
+
+## 🎯 **Applied Optimizations**
+
+### **Chunking Intelligence**
+```json
+{
+  "python": { "max_size": 3000, "strategy": "function" },
+  "markdown": { "max_size": 2500, "strategy": "header" },
+  "json": { "max_size": 1000, "skip_large": true },
+  "bash": { "max_size": 1500, "strategy": "function" }
+}
+```
+
+### **Search Query Enhancement**
+- **Class detection**: `MyClass` → `class MyClass OR function MyClass`
+- **Function detection**: `login()` → `def login OR function login`  
+- **Pattern matching**: Smart semantic expansion
+
+### **Performance Micro-Optimizations**
+- **Smart streaming**: 5KB threshold for projects with many large files
+- **Tiny file skipping**: Skip files <30 bytes (metadata noise)
+- **JSON filtering**: Skip huge config files, focus on meaningful JSONs
+- **Concurrent embeddings**: 4-way parallel processing with Ollama
+
+## 📊 **Performance Impact**
+
+**Before tuning:**
+- 376 files → 564 chunks (1.5 avg)
+- Large files streamed at 1MB threshold
+- Generic chunking for all languages
+
+**After smart tuning:**
+- **Better search relevance** (language-aware chunks)
+- **Faster indexing** (smart file filtering) 
+- **Improved context** (function/header-level chunks)
+- **Enhanced queries** (automatic query expansion)
+
+## 🛠️ **Manual Tuning Options**
+
+### **Custom Configuration**
+Edit `.claude-rag/config.json` in your project:
+```json
+{
+  "chunking": {
+    "max_size": 3000,           # Larger for Python projects
+    "language_specific": {
+      "python": { "strategy": "function" },
+      "markdown": { "strategy": "header" }
+    }
+  },
+  "streaming": {
+    "threshold_bytes": 5120     # 5KB for faster large file processing
+  },
+  "search": {
+    "smart_query_expansion": true,
+    "boost_exact_matches": 1.2
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### **Project-Specific Tuning**
+```bash
+# Force reindex with new settings
+./rag-mini index /project --force
+
+# Test search quality improvements
+./rag-mini-enhanced search /project "your test query"
+
+# Verify optimization impact
+./rag-mini-enhanced analyze /project
+```
+
+## 🎊 **Result: Smarter, Faster, Better**
+

+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **ProjectIndexer** (`indexer.py`) - Orchestrates the indexing pipeline
+2. **CodeChunker** (`chunker.py`) - Breaks files into meaningful pieces
+3. **OllamaEmbedder** (`ollama_embeddings.py`) - Converts text to vectors
+4. **CodeSearcher** (`search.py`) - Finds and ranks relevant content
+5. **FileWatcher** (`watcher.py`) - Monitors changes for incremental updates
+
+## How Text Becomes Searchable
+
+### Step 1: File Discovery and Filtering
+
+The system scans directories recursively, applying these filters:
+- **Supported extensions**: `.py`, `.js`, `.md`, `.json`, etc. (50+ types)
+- **Size limits**: Skip files larger than 10MB (configurable)
+- **Exclusion patterns**: Skip `node_modules`, `.git`, `__pycache__`, etc.
+- **Binary detection**: Skip binary files automatically
+
+### Step 2: Change Detection (Incremental Updates)
+
+Before processing any file, the system checks if re-indexing is needed:
+
+```python
+def _needs_reindex(self, file_path: Path, manifest: Dict) -> bool:
+    """Smart change detection to avoid unnecessary work."""
+    file_info = manifest.get('files', {}).get(str(file_path))
+    
+    # Quick checks first (fast)
+    current_size = file_path.stat().st_size
+    current_mtime = file_path.stat().st_mtime
+    
+    if not file_info:
+        return True  # New file
+    
+    if (file_info.get('size') != current_size or 
+        file_info.get('mtime') != current_mtime):
+        return True  # Size or time changed
+    
+    # Content hash check (slower, only when needed)
+    if file_info.get('hash') != self._get_file_hash(file_path):
+        return True  # Content actually changed
+    
+    return False  # File unchanged, skip processing
+```
+
+### Step 3: Streaming for Large Files
+
+Files larger than 1MB are processed in chunks to avoid memory issues:
+
+```python
+def _read_file_streaming(self, file_path: Path) -> str:
+    """Read large files in chunks to manage memory."""
+    content_parts = []
+    
+    with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8', errors='ignore') as f:
+        while True:
+            chunk = f.read(8192)  # 8KB chunks
+            if not chunk:
+                break
+            content_parts.append(chunk)
+    
+    return ''.join(content_parts)
+```
+
+## The Embedding Pipeline
+
+### Three-Tier Embedding System
+
+The system implements graceful degradation across three embedding methods:
+
+#### Tier 1: Ollama (Best Quality)
+```python
+def _get_ollama_embedding(self, text: str) -> Optional[np.ndarray]:
+    """High-quality embeddings using local Ollama server."""
+    try:
+        response = requests.post(
+            f"{self.ollama_host}/api/embeddings",
+            json={
+                "model": self.ollama_model,  # nomic-embed-text
+                "prompt": text
+            },
+            timeout=30
+        )
+        
+        if response.status_code == 200:
+            embedding = response.json()["embedding"]
+            return np.array(embedding, dtype=np.float32)
+            
+    except (requests.RequestException, KeyError, ValueError):
+        return None  # Fall back to next tier
+```
+
+#### Tier 2: ML Models (Good Quality)
+```python
+def _get_ml_embedding(self, text: str) -> Optional[np.ndarray]:
+    """Fallback using sentence-transformers."""
+    try:
+        if not self.ml_model:
+            from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
+            self.ml_model = SentenceTransformer(
+                'sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2'
+            )
+        
+        embedding = self.ml_model.encode(text)
+        
+        # Pad to 768 dimensions to match Ollama
+        if len(embedding) < 768:
+            padding = np.zeros(768 - len(embedding))
+            embedding = np.concatenate([embedding, padding])
+        
+        return embedding.astype(np.float32)
+        
+    except Exception:
+        return None  # Fall back to hash method
+```
+
+#### Tier 3: Hash-Based (Always Works)
+```python
+def _get_hash_embedding(self, text: str) -> np.ndarray:
+    """Deterministic hash-based embedding that always works."""
+    # Create deterministic 768-dimensional vector from text hash
+    hash_val = hashlib.sha256(text.encode()).hexdigest()
+    
+    # Convert hex to numbers
+    numbers = [int(hash_val[i:i+2], 16) for i in range(0, 64, 2)]
+    
+    # Expand to 768 dimensions with mathematical transformations
+    embedding = []
+    for i in range(768):
+        base_num = numbers[i % len(numbers)]
+        # Apply position-dependent transformations
+        transformed = (base_num * (i + 1)) % 256
+        embedding.append(transformed / 255.0)  # Normalize to [0,1]
+    
+    return np.array(embedding, dtype=np.float32)
+```
+
+### Batch Processing for Efficiency
+
+When processing multiple texts, the system batches requests:
+
+```python
+def embed_texts_batch(self, texts: List[str]) -> np.ndarray:
+    """Process multiple texts efficiently with batching."""
+    embeddings = []
+    
+    # Process in batches to manage memory and API limits
+    batch_size = self.batch_size  # Default: 32
+    
+    for i in range(0, len(texts), batch_size):
+        batch = texts[i:i + batch_size]
+        
+        if self.ollama_available:
+            # Concurrent Ollama requests
+            with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
+                futures = [executor.submit(self._get_ollama_embedding, text) 
+                          for text in batch]

+    return np.array(embeddings)
+```
+
+## Chunking Strategies
+
+The system uses different chunking strategies based on file type and content:
+
+### Python Files: AST-Based Chunking
+```python
+def chunk_python_file(self, content: str, file_path: str) -> List[CodeChunk]:
+    """Parse Python files using AST for semantic boundaries."""
+    try:
+        tree = ast.parse(content)
+        chunks = []
+        
+        for node in ast.walk(tree):
+            if isinstance(node, (ast.FunctionDef, ast.AsyncFunctionDef)):
+                # Extract function with context
+                start_line = node.lineno
+                end_line = getattr(node, 'end_lineno', start_line + 10)
+                
+                func_content = self._extract_lines(content, start_line, end_line)
+                
+                chunks.append(CodeChunk(
+                    content=func_content,
+                    file_path=file_path,
+                    start_line=start_line,
+                    end_line=end_line,
+                    chunk_type='function',
+                    name=node.name,
+                    language='python'
+                ))
+                
+            elif isinstance(node, ast.ClassDef):
+                # Similar extraction for classes...
+                
+    except SyntaxError:
+        # Fall back to fixed-size chunking for invalid Python
+        return self.chunk_fixed_size(content, file_path)
+```
+
+### Markdown Files: Header-Based Chunking
+```python
+def chunk_markdown_file(self, content: str, file_path: str) -> List[CodeChunk]:
+    """Split markdown on headers for logical sections."""
+    lines = content.split('\n')
+    chunks = []
+    current_chunk = []
+    current_header = None
+    
+    for line_num, line in enumerate(lines, 1):
+        if line.startswith('#'):
+            # New header found - save previous chunk
+            if current_chunk:
+                chunk_content = '\n'.join(current_chunk)
+                chunks.append(CodeChunk(
+                    content=chunk_content,
+                    file_path=file_path,
+                    start_line=line_num - len(current_chunk),
+                    end_line=line_num - 1,
+                    chunk_type='section',
+                    name=current_header,
+                    language='markdown'
+                ))
+                current_chunk = []
+            
+            current_header = line.strip('#').strip()
+        
+        current_chunk.append(line)
+    
+    # Don't forget the last chunk
+    if current_chunk:
+        # ... save final chunk
+```
+
+### Fixed-Size Chunking with Overlap
+```python
+def chunk_fixed_size(self, content: str, file_path: str) -> List[CodeChunk]:
+    """Fallback chunking for unsupported file types."""
+    chunks = []
+    max_size = self.config.chunking.max_size  # Default: 2000 chars
+    overlap = 200  # Character overlap between chunks
+    
+    for i in range(0, len(content), max_size - overlap):
+        chunk_content = content[i:i + max_size]
+        
+        # Try to break at word boundaries
+        if i + max_size < len(content):
+            last_space = chunk_content.rfind(' ')
+            if last_space > max_size * 0.8:  # Don't break too early
+                chunk_content = chunk_content[:last_space]
+        
+        if len(chunk_content.strip()) >= self.config.chunking.min_size:
+            chunks.append(CodeChunk(
+                content=chunk_content.strip(),
+                file_path=file_path,
+                start_line=None,  # Unknown for fixed-size chunks
+                end_line=None,
+                chunk_type='text',
+                name=None,
+                language='text'
+            ))
+    
+    return chunks
+```
+
+## Search Algorithm
+
+### Hybrid Semantic + Keyword Search
+
+The search combines vector similarity with keyword matching:
+
+```python
+def hybrid_search(self, query: str, top_k: int = 10) -> List[SearchResult]:

+            name_boost = (name_matches / len(query_terms)) * 0.2
+        else:

+```
+
+### Vector Database Operations
+
+Storage and retrieval using LanceDB:

+
+## Performance Architecture
+
+### Memory Management
+
+The system is designed to handle large codebases efficiently:
+
+```python
+class MemoryEfficientIndexer:
+    """Streaming indexer that processes files without loading everything into memory."""
+    
+    def __init__(self, max_memory_mb: int = 500):

+        # Process remaining files
+        if self.current_batch:
+            self._process_current_batch()
+```
+
+### Concurrent Processing
+
+Multiple files are processed in parallel:
+
+```python
+def index_files_parallel(self, file_paths: List[Path]) -> List[CodeChunk]:
+    """Process multiple files concurrently."""
+    all_chunks = []

+
+### Database Optimization
+
+LanceDB is optimized for vector operations:
+
+```python
+def optimize_database(self):
+    """Optimize database for search performance."""
+    table = self.db.open_table("chunks")
+

+    # Add secondary indexes for filtering
+    table.create_index("file_path")
+    table.create_index("chunk_type")

+```
+
+## Configuration System
+
+### Hierarchical Configuration
+
+Configuration is loaded from multiple sources with precedence:
+
+```python
+def load_configuration(self, project_path: Path) -> RAGConfig:

+# FSS-Mini-RAG Text User Interface Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The TUI (Text User Interface) provides a beginner-friendly, menu-driven way to use FSS-Mini-RAG without memorizing command-line syntax. It's designed with a "learn by doing" approach - you use the friendly interface while seeing the CLI commands, naturally building confidence to use the command line directly.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+./rag-tui
+```
+
+That's it! The TUI will guide you through everything.
+
+## Interface Design Philosophy
+
+### Learn by Doing
+- **No reading required** - Jump in and start using it
+- **CLI commands shown** - See equivalent commands as you work
+- **Progressive disclosure** - Basic actions upfront, advanced options available
+- **Natural transition** - Build confidence to try CLI commands
+
+### User Flow
+1. **Select Project** → Choose directory to search
+2. **Index Project** → Process files for search
+3. **Search Content** → Find what you need
+4. **Explore Results** → See full context and files
+
+## Main Menu Options
+
+### 1. Select Project Directory
+
+**Purpose**: Choose which codebase to work with
+
+**Options**:
+- **Enter project path** - Type any directory path
+- **Use current directory** - Index where you are now  
+- **Browse recent projects** - Pick from previously indexed projects
+
+**What You Learn**:
+- Project paths and directory navigation
+- How RAG works with specific directories
+- CLI equivalent: All commands need a project path
+
+**CLI Commands Shown**:
+```bash
+# You'll see these patterns throughout
+./rag-mini <command> /path/to/your/project
+```
+
+### 2. Index Project for Search
+
+**Purpose**: Process files to make them searchable
+
+**What Happens**:
+- Scans all files in project directory
+- Breaks text into searchable chunks
+- Creates embeddings (AI numerical representations)
+- Stores in local database (`.claude-rag/` folder)
+
+**Interactive Elements**:
+- **Force re-index option** - Completely rebuild if needed
+- **Progress feedback** - See files being processed
+- **Results summary** - Files processed, chunks created, timing
+
+**What You Learn**:
+- Why indexing is necessary (one-time setup per project)
+- What gets indexed (code files, documentation, configs)
+- How fast the system works
+- Storage location (`.claude-rag/` directory)
+
+**CLI Commands Shown**:
+```bash
+./rag-mini index /path/to/project          # Basic indexing
+./rag-mini index /path/to/project --force  # Force complete re-index
+```
+
+### 3. Search Project
+
+**Purpose**: Find code using natural language queries
+
+**Interactive Process**:
+1. **Enter search query** - Natural language or keywords
+2. **Set result limit** - How many matches to show (1-20)
+3. **View results** - See full content, not just snippets
+
+**Result Display**:
+- **File path** - Relative to project root
+- **Relevance score** - How closely it matches your query
+- **Line numbers** - Exact location in file
+- **Context** - Function/class name if applicable  
+- **Full content** - Up to 8 lines of actual code/text
+- **Continuation info** - How many more lines exist
+
+**Advanced Tips Shown**:
+- Enhanced search with `./rag-mini-enhanced`
+- Verbose output with `--verbose` flag
+- Context-aware search for related code
+
+**What You Learn**:
+- Semantic search vs text search (finds concepts, not just words)
+- How to phrase effective queries
+- Reading search results and relevance scores
+- When to use different search strategies
+
+**CLI Commands Shown**:
+```bash
+./rag-mini search /path/to/project "authentication logic"
+./rag-mini search /path/to/project "user login" --limit 10
+./rag-mini-enhanced context /path/to/project "login()"
+```
+
+### 4. View Status
+
+**Purpose**: Check system health and project information
+
+**Information Displayed**:
+
+**Project Status**:
+- **Indexing status** - Whether project is indexed
+- **File count** - How many files are searchable
+- **Chunk count** - Total searchable pieces
+- **Last update** - When indexing was last run
+- **Average chunks per file** - Efficiency metric
+
+**Embedding System Status**:
+- **Current method** - Ollama, ML fallback, or hash
+- **Quality level** - High, good, or basic
+- **Model information** - Which AI model is active
+
+**What You Learn**:
+- System architecture (embedding methods)
+- Project statistics and health
+- When re-indexing might be needed
+- Performance characteristics
+
+**CLI Commands Shown**:
+```bash
+./rag-mini status /path/to/project
+```
+
+### 5. Configuration
+
+**Purpose**: View and understand system settings
+
+**Configuration Display**:
+- **Current settings** - Chunk size, strategy, file patterns
+- **File location** - Where config is stored
+- **Setting explanations** - What each option does
+- **Quick actions** - View or edit config directly
+
+**Key Settings Explained**:
+- **chunking.max_size** - How large each searchable piece is
+- **chunking.strategy** - Smart (semantic) vs simple (fixed size)
+- **files.exclude_patterns** - Skip certain files/directories
+- **embedding.preferred_method** - AI model preference
+- **search.default_limit** - How many results to show
+
+**Interactive Options**:
+- **[V]iew config** - See full configuration file
+- **[E]dit path** - Get command to edit configuration
+
+**What You Learn**:
+- How configuration affects search quality
+- YAML configuration format
+- Which settings to adjust for different projects
+- Where to find advanced options
+
+**CLI Commands Shown**:
+```bash
+cat /path/to/project/.claude-rag/config.yaml   # View config
+nano /path/to/project/.claude-rag/config.yaml  # Edit config
+```
+
+### 6. CLI Command Reference
+
+**Purpose**: Complete command reference for transitioning to CLI
+
+**Organized by Use Case**:
+
+**Basic Commands**:
+- Daily usage patterns
+- Essential operations
+- Common options
+
+**Enhanced Commands**:
+- Advanced search features
+- Analysis and optimization
+- Pattern finding
+
+**Quick Scripts**:

+- **System administration** - Configuration and maintenance
+- **Workflow integration** - Using RAG in development process
+
+## Advanced Usage Patterns
+
+### Project Management Workflow
+
+1. **New Project**: Select directory → Index → Configure if needed
+2. **Existing Project**: Check status → Search → Re-index if outdated
+3. **Multiple Projects**: Use recent projects browser for quick switching
+
+### Search Strategies
+
+**Concept Searches**:
+- "user authentication" → finds login, auth, sessions
+- "database connection" → finds DB code, connection pools, queries
+- "error handling" → finds try/catch, error classes, logging
+
+**Specific Code Searches**:
+- "class UserManager" → finds class definitions
+- "function authenticate()" → finds specific functions
+- "config settings" → finds configuration code
+
+**Pattern Searches**:
+- "validation logic" → finds input validation across files
+- "API endpoints" → finds route definitions and handlers
+- "test cases" → finds unit tests and test data
+
+### Configuration Optimization
+
+**Small Projects** (< 100 files):
+- Default settings work well
+- Consider smaller chunk sizes for very granular search
+
+**Large Projects** (> 1000 files):
+- Exclude build directories and dependencies
+- Increase chunk sizes for broader context
+- Use semantic chunking for code-heavy projects
+
+**Mixed Content Projects**:
+- Balance chunk sizes for code vs documentation
+- Configure file patterns to include/exclude specific types
+- Use appropriate embedding methods for content type
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**"Project not indexed"**:
+- Use "Index project for search" from main menu
+- Check if project path is correct
+- Look for permission issues
+
+**"No results found"**:
+- Try broader search terms
+- Check project is actually indexed
+- Verify files contain expected content
+
+**"Search results poor quality"**:
+- Check embedding system status
+- Consider re-indexing with --force
+- Review configuration for project type
+
+**"System seems slow"**:
+- Check if Ollama is running (best performance)
+- Consider ML fallback installation
+- Review project size and exclude patterns
+
+### Learning Resources
+
+**Built-in Help**:
+- TUI shows CLI commands throughout
+- Configuration section explains all options
+- Status shows system health
+
+**External Resources**:
+- `README.md` - Complete technical documentation
+- `examples/config.yaml` - Configuration examples
+- `docs/GETTING_STARTED.md` - Step-by-step setup guide
+
+**Community Patterns**:
+- Common search queries for different languages
+- Project-specific configuration examples  
+- Integration with IDEs and editors
+
+## Tips for Success
+
+### Getting Started
+1. **Start with a small project** - Learn the basics without complexity
+2. **Try different search terms** - Experiment with phrasing
+3. **Watch the CLI commands** - Notice patterns and structure
+4. **Use the status check** - Understand what's happening
+
+### Building Expertise
+1. **Compare TUI vs CLI speed** - See when CLI becomes faster
+2. **Experiment with configuration** - Try different settings
+3. **Search your own code** - Use familiar projects for learning
+4. **Try advanced searches** - Explore enhanced commands
+
+### Transitioning to CLI
+1. **Copy commands from TUI** - Start with exact commands shown
+2. **Modify gradually** - Change options and see effects
+3. **Build shortcuts** - Create aliases for common operations
+4. **Integrate with workflow** - Add to development process
+
+The TUI is designed to be your training wheels - use it as long as you need, and transition to CLI when you're ready. There's no pressure to abandon the TUI; it's a fully functional interface that many users prefer permanently.

+
+## Overview
+
+This is the documentation for the RAG system that demonstrates
+smart chunking capabilities.
+
+## Features
+
+### Smart Code Chunking
+
+The system intelligently chunks code files by:
+- Keeping docstrings with their functions/classes
+- Creating logical boundaries at function and class definitions
+- Preserving context through parent-child relationships
+
+### Markdown Support
+
+Markdown files are chunked by sections with:
+- Header-based splitting
+- Context overlap between chunks
+- Preservation of document structure
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Example
+
+```python
+from claude_rag import ProjectIndexer
+
+indexer = ProjectIndexer("/path/to/project")
+indexer.index_project()
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+You can customize the chunking behavior:
+
+```python
+from claude_rag import CodeChunker
+
+chunker = CodeChunker(
+    max_chunk_size=1000,
+    min_chunk_size=50
+)
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### ProjectIndexer
+
+Main class for indexing projects.
+
+### CodeSearcher
+
+Provides semantic search capabilities.
