Supabase published a guide demonstrating how to build a fully local, in-browser semantic search experience using PGlite to store text and embeddings in IndexedDB, pgvector for inner product search, and Huggingface's Transformers.js with Supabase/gte-small to generate embeddings. The post includes code examples and a video demo.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://supabase.com/blog/in-browser-semantic-search-pglite:

> This gave me the idea to try and build a fully local, in-browser semantic search experience, utilising PGlite to store text and embeddings locally in IndexedDB, pgvector to perform inner product search, and Huggingface's Transformers.js with Supabase/gte-small to generate embeddings.
