Four ways to ask, one index
The same documents answer all four. Choose per query, not per deployment.
Full text
01 / 04
Typo tolerance, facets and filters. A user who types Kubernets still finds the page, and a user who wants only last quarter's docs can say so.
Vector
02 / 04
Bring your own embedding model — ours or anyone's — and search by meaning. Useful exactly when the user does not know the word your document uses.
Hybrid
03 / 04
Reciprocal Rank Fusion merges the two lists by rank rather than by score, so a keyword hit and a semantic hit compete fairly without a threshold you have to tune.
RAG chat
04 / 04
The retrieved passages go to a model and come back as an answer with links to what it read. Streamed, so the first sentence arrives before the last one is written.
How it works
Content in, ranked results out, and a model over the top if you want one.
Index your content
Step 01Push documents at build time or over the REST API. Text fields become searchable as they land; embeddings go to the vector store beside them. Adding a vector field later does not force a text reindex.
Query it from anywhere
Step 02A React hook for search-as-you-type, the REST API for everything else, and an MCP tool so an agent can search the same index a user searches. One index, three callers.
Let people ask instead
Step 03Turn on RAG chat and a question gets an answer built from the passages that were retrieved, each one linked. If the index has nothing, the answer says so rather than inventing one.
