A fork wiring Mike into a federated search backend so its assistant can reach past uploaded files into case law and connected systems.

Quiet and early - a couple of focused pull requests in spring 2026, one merged fix and one open search feature, with no activity since.

This is @sid-swirl's take on Mike, and the through-line is search reach. The headline work connects Mike's project assistant to SWIRL, a federated search backend, so the assistant can look beyond the documents a user has already uploaded - out to sources like case law and Microsoft 365 connectors - and pull results straight back into a project as new documents. It's a one-click bridge from "find it out there" to "it's in my project now."

Alongside that, @sid-swirl has done the unglamorous plumbing that makes a fork actually runnable: fixing a project-sharing query that was throwing 500s on the projects listing for real users, and adding support for self-hosted, S3-compatible local storage so you can stand the thing up without cloud dependencies.

The result reads like someone tailoring Mike for their own deployment rather than launching a rebrand. No new name, no repositioning - just search integration and the deployment fixes to support it. If you run legal research across scattered sources and want it folded into one assistant, this fork is worth a click through to GitHub.
