Search modes

Hybrid, text-only, and semantic-only search modes explained.

You can switch between three search modes depending on what you need:

Hybrid mode (default)

Combines text and semantic search for the best of both worlds. Start here - it works well for most queries.

Text-only mode

Traditional keyword search. Use this when you know the exact words or phrases you're looking for. Faster for precise lookups like names or specific terms.

Semantic-only mode

Uses AI embeddings to find conceptually similar memories. Great for vague queries like "that thing about our pricing change" - even if the exact words don't match.
