How search works

An overview of Reattend's hybrid search combining text and AI embeddings.

Reattend offers hybrid search that combines traditional keyword matching with AI-powered semantic understanding.

How it works

When you search, Reattend runs two searches in parallel:

  1. Text search - Matches exact words and phrases in memory titles, summaries, and content.
  2. Semantic search - Converts your query into an embedding and finds memories with similar meaning, even if they use different words.

Results are merged and ranked by relevance. Each result shows a similarity score and whether it was found via text, semantic, or both.

What gets searched

  • Memory titles and summaries
  • Projects
  • Entities (people, organizations, topics)
  • Tags
