Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while
avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 days agoNice. 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.

Interesting, it’s slightly slower for me through the web interface both with a direct connect to my network, or when proxied through the internet. Still, we’re talking seconds here, and the results are so accurate!
Immich has effectively replaced the (expensive) Windows software Excire Foto, which I was using for on-device contextual search because Synology Photos search just sucks. Excire isn’t ideal to run from Linux because it has to be done through a VM, so I’m happy to self-host Immich and be able to use it even while out of the house.
