# Search the Vault

Run:

```bash
deeporbit --vault "<vault>" rag "<query>" --limit 20
```

This uses the zero-dependency local SQLite FTS index and automatically reconciles synced, changed, renamed, and deleted Markdown files. If SQLite FTS is unavailable, the core falls back to direct case-insensitive scanning.

Return vault-relative paths, note titles, and short snippets. Do not modify notes during search.
