Thank you very much for the contributions of the project team members. I am using Anythingllm to build an interesting application, which is a cool thing, but now I am having some trouble and don't know how to solve it.
When I was testing the/app/v1/workspace/{slug}/vector search interface, I found that the similarity between the entered keywords and the searched documents was very low,However, when I entered keywords within the document, I couldn't find them. What is the reason for this? How can I adjust to improve the accuracy of text similarity retrieval?

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2025):

In general - this document helps

As for the vector search endpoint itself the search is done via semantic similarity - not full text search. You have not specified what kind of version of AnythingLLM you are running -- but on the latest docker tag we now support reranking in the workspace - it helps a lot!
