alpha, so you can tune relevance per query.
As with all queries, load the index first (or open a session).
The alpha parameter
alpha lives on QueryOptions.
Example
alpha applies inside a session:
Choosing alpha
- Lower
alpha(toward keyword) when queries contain exact identifiers, SKUs, names, or jargon. - Higher
alpha(toward semantic) when queries are natural-language paraphrases. - Tune per index and per intent (returns, billing, onboarding, and so on).
