The search layer
Three retrieval modes, always permission-aware. Results are filtered by the calling user's access before ranking — there is no post-processing step.
| Mode | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Text | BM25 keyword ranking | Identifiers, titles, exact terms |
| Vector | Cosine similarity over embeddings | Paraphrased questions, long text |
| Hybrid | Text + vector, blended score | Most enterprise data (default) |
You choose what gets indexed. Not every field needs to be in search — explicit indexing keeps the index lean and ranking meaningful.
Facets let users narrow results by:
- Node properties (status, priority, category)
- Graph relationships (filter by customer, product, team)
- Time (last 7 days, last quarter)
