alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie
Hi HN! I built Ghibli Search, a semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie scenes (e.g. Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.).
Describe a dreamscape like "flying through clouds at sunset" or upload an image, and it finds visually similar scenes from the films.
Live demo: https://ghibli-search.anini.workers.dev/
Full Cloudflare stack: Workers, AI Search, R2, Workers AI
Open source: https://github.com/aninibread/ghibli-search
Would love feedback on the search quality and any ideas for improvements!

“Malevolent spirits waiting at the bottom of a pit”
Didn’t return what I expected: the scene from spirited away when chihiro and haku fall through the trap door.
Relevance can be improved with multiple ranking steps.
curious: can anyone use Ghibli's movie scenes on a random website just like that?
@dang this domain should probably be expanded from showing just workers.dev

It's interesting that searches for general concepts (Countryside wildflowers, airplane scenes, train scenes) seem to work pretty well, while searches for specific characters (Ponyo, Yubaba, Porco Rosso) return negligible results.
