FRAME 03 — SONAR TELEMETRY, RECEIVED INTACT. FALSE COLOR.

OBSERVED NATURE

A fast, relevance-first omni-bar for Obsidian: one ping and the right thing surfaces. Search is still the core (a from-scratch BM25F engine that ranks better than Omnisearch, with a drop-in HTTP API), now one of four modes alongside command, capture, and handing an intent to Exo.

DETECTED SIGNATURES

  • Custom BM25F ranking engine, no external index
  • Two-pane quick-find modal with live preview
  • Title only / In: / Tag / Date filter chips
  • HTTP API drop-in for Omnisearch, same port and shape
  • Four modes — search, commands, capture, ask Exo

APPROACH VECTOR

  1. Ask a coding agent (suggested, simplest for now) — point Claude Code, Codex, or a similar agent at https://github.com/mariomile/obsidian-sonar and ask it to clone the repo and install the plugin into .obsidian/plugins/sonar. The suite isn't in the official Community Plugins store yet, so this is the fastest path today.
  2. Via BRAT — install Obsidian42 BRAT, then “Add beta plugin” → mariomile/obsidian-sonar.
  3. Manual — download main.js, manifest.json (+ styles.css) from the latest release into .obsidian/plugins/sonar, then enable it under Community plugins.
