Hybrid Search

Combines vector similarity and keyword (BM25) matching for balanced search results on a single collection.

Usage

uv run scripts/hybrid_search.py --query "USER_QUERY" --collection "CollectionName" [--alpha 0.7] [--limit 10] [--properties "prop1,prop2"] [--target-vector "vector_name"] [--json]

Parameters

Parameter Flag Required Default Description
--query -q Yes Search query text
--collection -c Yes Collection name
--alpha -a No 0.7 Balance between vector (1.0) and keyword (0.0)
--limit -l No 10 Maximum number of results
--properties -p No all Comma-separated properties to search
--target-vector -t No Target vector name for named vector collections
--json No false Output in JSON format

Output

  • Default: Markdown table with object properties and score
  • JSON: Array of objects with properties and search metadata

Examples

Basic hybrid search:

uv run scripts/hybrid_search.py --query "climate change effects" --collection "Articles"

Keyword-heavy search (lower alpha):

uv run scripts/hybrid_search.py --query "product SKU-1234" --collection "Products" --alpha 0.3

Search specific properties with named vector:

uv run scripts/hybrid_search.py --query "renewable energy" --collection "Papers" --properties "title,abstract" --target-vector "title_vector"
