Yessss! This is what I want. If there is a natural set of filters that can be applied, let me speak it in natural language, then the LLM can translate that as good as possible and then I can review it. E.g. searching photos between X and Y date, containing human Z, at location W. These are all filters that can be presented as separate UI elements so I can confirm the LLM interpreted correctly and I can adjust the dates or what have you without having to repeat the whole sentence again.


Also, any additional LLM magic would be a separate layer with its own context, safely abstracted beneath the filter/search language. Not a post-processing step by some kind of LLM-shell.

For example, "Find me all pictures since Tuesday with pets" might become:

    type:picture after:2025-10-08 fuzzy-content:"with pets"
Then the implementation of "fuzzy-content" would generate a text-description of the photo and some other LLM-thingy does the hidden document-building like:

   Description: "black dog catching a frisbee"
   Does that "with pets"? 
   Answer Yes or No.
   Yes.
