Release v2.1.0

Release v2.1.0 (2026-05-09)

Indexly v2.1.0 introduces safe search-index deletion with indexly clear-search. The command removes rows from fts_index.db without deleting source files and includes dry-run previews, confirmations, cache handling, and audit logging.

Highlights

• clear-search --path PATH removes exact, prefix, or basename-matched search index rows.
• clear-search --tag TAG [TAG ...] removes files matching any listed tag.
• clear-search --all clears the full search index before a rebuild.
• --dry-run previews all modes without database changes.
• --yes supports safe automation for path, tag, and full-index cleanup.
• Operation IDs connect the deletion plan, NDJSON logs, and final summary.

Search Improvements

• Lowercase words such as and, or, not, and near are treated as literal search text unless uppercase FTS operators are used.
• Search results can be sorted by relevance, newest, oldest, or path.
• Tag statistics and search maintenance feedback are clearer.

Fixes And Reliability

• Cache invalidation failures during clear-search are warnings rather than confusing post-delete hard failures.
• Database errors during search-index cleanup now include recovery hints such as indexly doctor and indexly update-db.
• Cleaned-data deletion handles basename, source path, and normalized full-path variants more robustly.
• Debug table inspection uses the expected database connection behavior.

Documentation

• Added Clear Search Results Safely.
• Updated the usage guide, search guide, developer guide, FAQ data, database design notes, and changelog.
