search
Read-only
Search the TCLP knowledge graph using fusion search (semantic + BM25).
Args:
query: Free-text search query (max 1000 characters).
node_type: Content scope — "tclp" (clauses, glossary terms, guides) or "all".
Laws, regulations, standards and frameworks are not searchable here:
use `find_legal_resources`.
content_type: Return only one content type: "clause", "glossary_term" or
"guide". Omit to search every type.
limit: Maximum number of results to return (1–50).
rerank: Whether to apply RRF reranking when combining graph and text results.
include_full_text: Include each hit's full body text (Markdown). Off by
default — bodies are large; request only when you need the content,
and prefer a small `limit` when you do.
Returns:
JSON with "meta" (totals, timing) and "results" (ranked hits with title,
url, content_type, scores, summary, optionally relationships_text,
related and full_text). `summary` is short plain text: the clause
summary, the first paragraph of a glossary definition, or a guide's
excerpt. It is null when the item has none. `child_name` is a clause's
child name (e.g. "Odhran's Clause"), null for other content and for a
clause that has none; text search also matches it.
Each hit's "references" lists the instruments it cites: pass a
reference's `work_id` to `get_legal_resource` for details. A reference's
`edge` (governs, references, describes) says how the content relates to
the instrument; it is not a statement of the instrument's legal effect.
An empty list means the hit cites no instruments. null with "lrsf" in
meta.degraded means references could not be loaded: do not conclude
that the hit cites no instruments.
