What OneSearch extracts

OneSearch strips timing and formatting data, then indexes the readable transcript text.

It also records:

  • subtitle format
  • cue count

Encoding detection is used when UTF-8 does not work cleanly.

Search behavior

This is useful for finding dialogue across downloaded videos, lectures, conference talks, or media libraries with sidecar subtitle files.

Limits

Subtitles use text extraction settings:

MAX_TEXT_FILE_SIZE_MB=10
TEXT_EXTRACTION_TIMEOUT=5
