  • Type: enum<string>
  • Default: ""

This setting controls whether the engine uses keyword search only or combines it with vector-based semantic search (NeuralSearch). If getRankingInfo is true, the _rankingInfo object includes:
  • keywordScore. Match score from keyword search
  • semanticScore. Match score from semantic search
  • neuralScore. Combined score used for final ranking
This setting only has an effect if you activated NeuralSearch.
