A computing system receives user input selecting a first search folder in a hierarchical set of search folders for a collection of documents. The system identifies documents of the first search folder by: (i) executing a predefined query specified for the first search folder to dynamically retrieve documents, if any, from the collection of documents, that satisfy the specified query, (ii) identifying documents, if any, from the collection of documents, that are individually associated with the first search folder, (iii) determining whether the search folder includes one or more subfolders, and (iv) in accordance with a determination that the search folder includes one or more subfolders, recursively performing (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) on each of the one or more subfolders of the first search folder, to retrieve documents, if any, contained in the one or more subfolders. The system displays the identified documents to the user.

A method of searching for similar images is performed at a computing system having one or more processors and memory. The method includes receiving an input image having content, and generating a feature vector corresponding to the input image according to a trained classifier model. The feature vector has multiple components. The method further includes encoding the feature vector as a similarity hash by quantizing each component. The method also includes, for each reference image in a plurality of reference images: obtaining a reference hash for the reference image; computing similarity between the input image and the reference image by computing a distance between the reference hash and the similarity hash; and determining whether the computed distance is within a predetermined threshold. When the computed distance is within the predetermined threshold, the computing system returns the reference image as an image that is similar to the input image.

A process generates searchable content for visual media files. The process uses partial schemas, including a source schema and a keyword schema. The process uses workers, each specifying its input schemas and its output schemas. A dependency graph includes a node for each worker, with dependencies based on the input and output schemas. The graph includes initial workers that correspond to distinct media types, which use the source schema. The process constructs a source schema instance for each selected media file, and the process traverses nodes in the graph beginning with an initial worker process according to the media type. This begins execution of multiple workers, which construct additional schema instances. Some workers extract keywords from the source file and insert the terms into the keyword schema instance. The process stores the keyword schema instance and a link to the corresponding file in a database for subsequent media queries.

Media search processing using partial schemas

A method is performed at a computing system having one or more processors and memory. The process generates a hierarchical set of folders for a collection of documents. Each folder specifies a rule/query (possibly empty) for identifying a subset of the collection of documents. Each folder also specifies a user-defined set (possibly empty) of individual documents from the collection of documents. In addition, each folder specifies a set (possible empty) of subfolders. The process receives user input to select a first folder of the set of folders, and generates a responsive result set. The result set includes documents that satisfy the specified rule for the first folder, documents from the user-defined set of documents for the first folder, and documents recursively contained in subfolders of the first folder. The process then displays the result set to the user.
