The [search] section controls search behavior defaults.
Configuration
[search]
default_limit = 10
semantic_weight = 0.7
Options
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
default_limit | int | 10 | Default number of results returned |
semantic_weight | float | 0.7 | Balance between semantic (1.0) and keyword (0.0) in hybrid mode |
Semantic Weight
The semantic_weight parameter controls how hybrid search blends results:
- 1.0 = pure semantic search (vector similarity only)
- 0.0 = pure keyword search (full-text search only)
- 0.7 (default) = heavily favors semantic matches, with keyword results filling in exact-match gaps
The hybrid search uses Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to combine results from both search modes. See Architecture: Storage & Data Flow for details on the RRF algorithm.
