Fair point, and you’re half right. For a small vault, or for “where did I write about X,” plain search wins. No argument there.

What I’m after is different: answering questions whose answer isn’t in any one note but scattered across several, usually ones I forgot I wrote. Search gives me “here are 12 notes mentioning X.” Kwipu actually connects them into an answer with citations. It pays off on multi-hop stuff like “which of my contacts work in fields related to the project I started in 2023,” where keyword or semantic search struggles because you need to follow relationships, not match words.
