Search ordinary local knowledge with hybrid FTS and vector recall, reciprocal rank fusion, and online reranking. Results are grouped by text table and include source paths, headings, chunk text, and scores.

This tool never searches core Agent memory or context-backup trees, even when either appears below a configured source root. Indexing text is sent to the configured Embedding provider; query text and candidate chunks are sent to the configured Reranker provider only for sources with current user consent.

Args: query: Natural-language or exact-text knowledge query. top_k: Results to return, from 1 through 20. table_ids: Optional text-table filters, at most 20. source_ids: Optional source filters, at most 20.

Results locate candidate source material. Read the returned source file before treating a match as authoritative.
