2 min read · Bolcho
Combining keyword search with semantic (vector) search so an agent retrieves the most relevant knowledge, even when wording differs.
Hybrid Search explained
Hybrid search blends exact keyword matching with meaning-based vector search. For RAG, it catches both the caller who uses your exact term and the one who describes the same thing differently.
Bolcho's Query tool uses hybrid retrieval over your knowledge base for more accurate grounded answers.
