Advanced Retrieval

Fine-grained control over how you search

Filter by date, author, or category. Steer search intent. Exclude topics. Expand queries automatically to find related concepts. Every stage of the search pipeline is configurable — and it all runs offline.

What it gives you

  • Automatic query expansion finds related terms you didn’t search for
  • Reranking pushes the most relevant results to the top
  • Date filters (--since, --until) for time-sensitive work
  • Intent steering to bias results toward a topic
  • Exclusion filters to remove noise
  • Structured query modes for power users (term, intent, hyde)
  • Every retrieval stage is configurable
