Beyond Keyword Search

Discover What You Didn't Know Was There

Haystack keeps the beta workflow simple: use Semantic Search for ideas, themes, and conceptual discovery, or switch to Keyword Search when you need exact names, phrases, titles, or wording. Metadata filters narrow the archive first, then the ranking pipeline surfaces the strongest source groups.

  • Semantic Search for concepts, themes, and natural-language questions
  • Keyword Search for literal names, phrases, and titles
  • Decade, year, publication, and author filters applied before retrieval
  • Cross-encoder reranking for cleaner source lists
