agentdb-hybrid-search

Hybrid search — BM25 keyword + dense vector fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Use when queries have specific identifiers, code symbols, or proper nouns that pure semantic search might miss.

Hybrid Search

Combine sparse (BM25, exact terms) and dense (vector, semantic) search via Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Catches both "exact-string" queries and "intent" queries in one call.

When to use

  • Queries with code symbols (getUserById, JWT_SECRET)
  • Queries with proper nouns (file names, package names, project IDs)
  • Mixed-intent queries — "the auth module's token refresh logic"
  • When you've seen pure vector search miss obvious string matches

API

agentdb_hybrid_search(
  query:    <string>
  k:        5
  weights?: { bm25: 0.5, vector: 0.5 }   // default; bandit can pick
  filters?: { ... }                        // metadata filters
)

How RRF works

Each result gets a rank in BM25 list (r_bm25) and a rank in vector list (r_vec). Final score:

score(i) = w_bm25 / (60 + r_bm25(i)) + w_vec / (60 + r_vec(i))

The constant 60 (k in the RRF paper) prevents top-1 hits from dominating; the additive structure rewards being well-ranked in both lists.

When NOT to use hybrid

  • Pure-natural-language queries with no identifiers → vector alone is fine and faster
  • Pure-keyword queries (regex, exact match) → use BM25 directly
  • Cross-language queries (query in English, docs in Japanese) → BM25 won't help; stick with vector

Don't

  • Don't tune weights manually per query. Let the bandit (weights: 'auto') learn the right balance.
  • Don't run hybrid on small corpora (< 1000 docs). BM25's IDF signal is noisy at that scale; vector alone is usually better.
