Question 4

Is it efficient for large Obsidian vaults?

Yes, built around `VaultManager` and `Indexer`, it creates a lightweight inverted index at startup for near-instant keyword searches (O(1)). It minimizes memory usage by not holding entire file contents, ensuring high performance and efficiency for large vaults.
