Halcyon Flux Browser includes a built-in AI visual search engine built into Halcyon Flux Browser. Search your files using natural language or find visually similar images — no internet connection required after initial setup.

Topics covered:

• Enabling auto-indexing
• Searching by text description
• Finding visually similar images
• How background indexing works (idle-time processing)
• Downloading and managing the AI model
• Managing the AI search cache

Key details:

• Indexing only runs when the system has been idle for 30 seconds or more
• All AI processing happens entirely on your device — nothing is sent to the internet

Tip: Search operators (.exr, type:image, >100mb, etc.) can be combined with AI visual search — operators filter the file list first, then AI ranks results within the filtered set. See 🔍 Search & Filtering.
