Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while

• Showroom7561@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I decided on the ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli model, so switched to that last night. I also needed to update my server to the latest version of Immich, so a new smart search job was run late last night.

  Out of 140,000+ photos/videos, it’s down to 104,000 and I have it set to 6 concurrent tasks.

  I don’t mind it processing for 24h. I believe when I first set immich up, the smart search took many days. I’m still able to use the app and website to navigate and search without any delays.

    Let me know how the search performs once it’s done. Speed of search, subjective quality, etc.

      OK, indexing finished some time yesterday and I ran a few searches like:

      “Child wearing glasses indoors”

      “Cars with no wheels”

      “Woman riding a bike”

      Results come up (immich on android) in three seconds.

      But the quality of the results do appear to be considerably better with ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli compared to the default model.

      I’m pretty happy. 👍

        Nice. I discovered that the Android app shows results a bit slower than the web. The request doesn’t reach Immich during the majority of the wait. I’m not sure why. When searching from the web app, the request is received by Immich immediately.

      Search speed was never an issue before, and neither was quality. My biggest gripe is not being able to sort search by date! If I had that, it would be perfect.

      But I’ll update you once it’s done (at 97,000 to go… )
