Search Optimization

Tips for getting better search results

Optimize your textrawl searches for better relevance and accuracy.

Weight Tuning

For Questions

Increase semantic weight:

{ "semanticWeight": 1.5, "fullTextWeight": 0.5 }

For Exact Terms

Increase full-text weight:

{ "semanticWeight": 0.5, "fullTextWeight": 1.5 }

Query Tips

Be Specific

Instead of: "meeting notes" Try: "Q4 planning meeting notes about budget"

Use Natural Language

Instead of: "authentication config" Try: "how do I configure user authentication"

Add Context

Instead of: "error handling" Try: "error handling patterns in the payment service"

Using Tags

Organize with consistent tags:

  • Source: email, notes, docs
  • Topic: project-x, finance, technical
  • Status: archived, active, reference

Then filter searches:

{
  "query": "budget updates",
  "tags": ["project-x", "finance"]
}

Score Interpretation

Score RangeMeaning
0.8 - 1.0Highly relevant
0.6 - 0.8Good match
0.4 - 0.6Related content
< 0.4Weak match

If scores are low, try rephrasing or broadening your query.
