Problem
Hybrid search uses a fixed weighted sum of BM25 and vector scores. There is no diversity-aware reranking or graph-based relevance boosting.
Proposed Solution
- Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF): Combine BM25 and vector scores using `1/(k + rank)` formula instead of simple weighted sum
- Maximal Marginal Relevance (MMR): Add diversity penalty to avoid returning near-duplicate results
- Graph-distance reranking: For queries that match graph nodes, boost results that are closer in the knowledge graph
Impact
Better search relevance, especially for ambiguous queries. Reduces redundancy in search results.
