ISONQ v7.0.1: Performance Evaluation of a Local-First Semantic Search System

ISONQ LLC

Lakewood, Colorado, USA • December 2025

Abstract—We present a quantitative evaluation of ISONQ v7.0.1, a deterministic document retrieval system designed for privacy-sensitive environments requiring zero data egress. Benchmarks conducted on a corpus of n = 1,045 documents demonstrate median query latency P₅₀ = 6.25ms (95% CI: 5.76–7.36ms), sustained throughput of 152.43 queries/second, and memory footprint of 18.33 MB.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does initial indexing take?

Indexing speed depends on file count and type. Expect approximately 1,000 files per minute on an SSD. You can use ISONQ while indexing continues in the background.

Does ISONQ upload my files?

No. All indexing and search processing occurs locally on your device. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Can I use ISONQ offline?

Yes. Once indexed, search works completely offline. Microsoft 365 synchronization requires an internet connection, but previously synced data is searchable offline.

How do I exclude folders from indexing?

Go to Settings, then Indexed Locations, then Excluded Patterns. Add folder paths or patterns to exclude.
