+This documentation provides a detailed overview of the CLIP-based Image & Text Search App using Streamlit as the frontend and Pinecone for vector-based image retrieval.
+
+<!-- project overview -->
+This project enables text-to-image and image-to-image search using OpenAI’s CLIP model. It retrieves similar images from a Pinecone vector database.
+<!-- features -->
+Text-to-Image Search – Find images using text descriptions.
+Image-to-Image Search – Upload an image to find visually similar images.
+CLIP Model Integration – Uses OpenAI's CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining).
+Pinecone for Vector Search – Stores and retrieves image embeddings efficiently.
+Streamlit Interface – Provides an interactive UI.
+
+<!-- installation and dependencies -->
+1. Ensure you have installed python installed
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+2. start run the streamlit 
+streamlit run app.py
+
+<!-- Application workflow -->
+1. Load CLIP Model & Processor – Initializes the CLIP model for text and image embeddings.
+2. Generate Embeddings – Converts input text/images into 768-dimensional feature vectors.
+3. Query Pinecone Database – Searches the Pinecone index for similar image embeddings.
+4. Display Results – Shows matching images with similarity scores.
+
+
+<!-- code in streamlit -->
+
+This file contains:
+
+UI Setup – Configures Streamlit layout & sidebar controls.
+CLIP Model Initialization – Loads the pre-trained CLIP model.
+Embedding Generation – Converts text and images into numerical vectors.
+Pinecone Search Queries – Finds similar images based on embeddings.
+Display Results – Shows search results in a grid layout.
+
+
+<!-- setup details -->
+1.  Set Up Streamlit UI
+2.  Initialize Pinecone
+3.  Load CLIP Model & Processor
+4.  Sidebar for Input Controls
+5.  Text Search Processing
+6.  Image Search Processing
+7.  Function to Generate Text Embeddings
+8.  Function to Generate Image Embeddings
+9.  Pinecone Query to Find Similar Images
+10. Displaying Search Results
+11. Deployment on Hugging Face
+
+<!-- conclusion -->
+After deploying in hugging face the file runs and give the streamlit page of the  CLIP-based Image & Text Search App.
