AI Search API

from ai_search import AISearchEngine

# Initialize with Ollama (local)
ai = AISearchEngine('telegram.db', provider='ollama')

# Or with Groq
ai = AISearchEngine('telegram.db', provider='groq', api_key='your_key')

# Search
result = ai.search("מי הכי פעיל בלילה?")
print(result['answer'])  # Natural language answer
print(result['sql'])     # Generated SQL query
print(result['results']) # Raw data

Database Updates

Update your database with new JSON exports without losing existing data.

Via Web UI

  1. Go to Settings page in the dashboard
  2. Drag & drop your new result.json file
  3. Wait for processing (duplicate detection automatic)
  4. See summary of new messages added

Via CLI

# Update existing database with new JSON
python indexer.py new_export.json --db telegram.db --update

# What happens:
# 1. Loads existing message IDs into Bloom filter (O(n))
# 2. For each message in JSON:
#    - Check if exists using Bloom filter (O(1))
#    - Only insert if new
# 3. Re-index FTS if needed
# 4. Report: X new messages, Y duplicates skipped

1. LCS (Longest Common Subsequence)

Purpose: Find similar/duplicate messages

String 1: "שלום לכולם מה קורה"
String 2: "שלום לכולם מה נשמע"
                          ↓
LCS:      "שלום לכולם מה "
Similarity: 77.78%

Algorithm:

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│   │ ∅ │ A │ B │ C │ D │   DP Table
├───┼───┼───┼───┼───┼───┤
│ ∅ │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │   dp[i][j] = length of LCS

│ C │ 0 │ 1 │ 1 │ 2 │ 2 │
│ B │ 0 │ 1 │ 2 │ 2 │ 2 │   Time:  O(m × n)
│ D │ 0 │ 1 │ 2 │ 2 │ 3 │   Space: O(min(m,n))
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

2. Heap-based Top-K

Purpose: Find top K items without sorting everything

Finding Top 3 from [5,2,8,1,9,3,7,4,6]

Min-Heap (size K=3):

Step 1: [5]           Add 5
Step 2: [2,5]         Add 2
Step 3: [2,5,8]       Add 8 (heap full)
Step 4: [2,5,8]       Skip 1 (< min)
Step 5: [5,9,8]       Replace 2 with 9
Step 6: [5,9,8]       Skip 3 (< min)
Step 7: [7,9,8]       Replace 5 with 7
...
Result: [7,8,9]       Top 3!

Time: O(n log k) vs O(n log n) for full sort

3. Selection Algorithm (Median of Medians)

Purpose: Find k-th element or percentiles in O(n)

Find median of [3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,5]

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Divide into groups of 5:               │
│  [3,1,4,1,5] [9,2,6,5,3] [5]           │
│       ↓           ↓        ↓            │
│  Medians: 3       5        5            │
│       ↓                                 │
│  Median of medians: 5 (pivot)           │
│       ↓                                 │
│  Partition around 5                     │
│  [3,1,4,1,2,3] [5,5,5] [9,6]           │
│       6 elements  3     2               │
│       ↓                                 │
│  Median is at position 5 → found!       │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

Time: O(n) guaranteed (not just average!)

4. Rank Tree (Order Statistics Tree)

Purpose: O(log n) rank queries

AVL Tree with size augmentation:

           ┌───────────────┐
           │  150 (size=5) │
           └───────┬───────┘
          ┌────────┴────────┐
    ┌─────┴─────┐     ┌─────┴─────┐
    │ 100 (s=2) │     │ 250 (s=2) │
    └─────┬─────┘     └─────┬─────┘
    ┌─────┴              ┌──┴
┌───┴───┐            ┌───┴───┐
│50 (1) │            │300 (1)│
└───────┘            └───────┘

select(3) → 150  (3rd smallest)
rank(150) → 3    (rank of 150)

Time: O(log n) for both operations

5. Bucket Sort (Time Histograms)

Purpose: O(n+k) time-based grouping

Messages with timestamps:
[1000, 1500, 2500, 1200, 3000]

Bucket size: 1000 seconds

┌─────────┬─────────┬─────────┬─────────┐
│ 0-1000  │1000-2000│2000-3000│3000-4000│
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│         │ 1000    │  2500   │  3000   │
│         │ 1500    │         │         │
│         │ 1200    │         │         │
├─────────┼─────────┼─────────┼─────────┤
│ Count:0 │ Count:3 │ Count:1 │ Count:1 │
└─────────┴─────────┴─────────┴─────────┘

Time: O(n + k) where k = number of buckets

6. DFS/BFS Thread Traversal

Purpose: Reconstruct conversation threads

Reply Graph:

    [1] Original message
     │
     ├──[2] Reply to 1
     │   │
     │   ├──[4] Reply to 2
     │   │
     │   └──[5] Reply to 2
     │
     └──[3] Reply to 1

DFS order: [1, 2, 4, 5, 3]  (deep first)
BFS order: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  (level by level)

With depth info:
  [1] depth=0
    [2] depth=1
      [4] depth=2
      [5] depth=2
    [3] depth=1

Time: O(V + E)

Examples

Example 1: Find Most Active Hours

from analyzer import TelegramAnalyzer

with TelegramAnalyzer('telegram.db') as analyzer:
    hourly = analyzer.get_hourly_activity()

    # Find peak hour
    peak_hour = max(hourly, key=hourly.get)
    print(f"Most active hour: {peak_hour}:00 ({hourly[peak_hour]} messages)")

Example 2: Detect Spam/Reposts

from analyzer import TelegramAnalyzer

with TelegramAnalyzer('telegram.db') as analyzer:
    reposts = analyzer.find_reposts(threshold=0.9)

    for r in reposts[:10]:
        print(f"Similarity: {r['similarity']:.0%}")
        print(f"  User 1: {r['user_1']}")
        print(f"  User 2: {r['user_2']}")
        print(f"  Text: {r['text_preview'][:50]}...")

Example 3: Conversation Thread Analysis

from search import TelegramSearch

with TelegramSearch('telegram.db') as search:
    # Get full thread
    thread = search.get_thread_with_depth(548795)

    print("Conversation thread:")
    for msg, depth in thread:
        indent = "  " * depth
        print(f"{indent}[{msg['from_name']}]: {msg['text_plain'][:50]}")

Example 4: User Ranking

from analyzer import TelegramAnalyzer

with TelegramAnalyzer('telegram.db') as analyzer:
    # Get rank of specific user
    rank = analyzer.get_user_rank("user123456")
    print(f"Rank: #{rank['rank']} of {rank['total_users']}")
    print(f"Top {rank['percentile']:.1f}%")

    # Get top 3 users
    for i in range(1, 4):
        user = analyzer.get_user_by_rank(i)
        print(f"#{i}: {user['name']} ({user['count']} messages)")
