Smart Search

Combines two search methods:

• Semantic — OpenAI embeddings in pgvector for conceptual meaning
• Keyword — Ranking based on term frequency and document length

Results merged via RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion), weighting items that rank well in both. Best balance of accuracy and speed.

AI Answer

AI Answer (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) implementation:

• Smart Search — Retrieves relevant sources using semantic + keyword
• LLM synthesis — OpenAI generates a summary from the retrieved content

Returns a natural language summary with cited sources and confidence level. Slower, but provides synthesized answers.
