Visual search

Turn a text or example-photo query into ranked, source-linked photo results.

Workflow

1. Enter visual queryCompose a query without changing library records, source files or the current embedding index.
2. Embed and rankCreate the query representation and rank source-linked photo embeddings from the compatible index.
3. Review uncertain resultUncertain, incomplete or user-sensitive results remain reviewable with their source identity and reasons.
4. Show ranked photosReturn ranked stable photo IDs and enough model/index metadata to explain unavailable or stale results.
5. Return unavailableMissing prerequisites and unsupported inputs produce an explicit unavailable outcome without inventing a result.

Failure boundaries

• Index missingUnavailable: Offer indexing
• Model mismatchUnavailable: Do not mix vectors
• Deleted resultStale index: Hide and repair
