Search¶

PriorisMCP exposes retrieval mechanisms over content already fetched into its storage, all through one tool, research_search_fetched's mode parameter (see Vector search → Composition), covered as separate chapters in this section:

• Full-text search — SearchIndex, literal/lexical keyword matching over persisted chunks/leaves (v1).
• Vector search — VectorSearchBackend, embedding-based semantic search over the same corpus (v3).

Not to be confused with Discovery: all three mechanisms above operate over content already fetched into this project's storage. Discovery is a remote, third-party mechanism for finding candidates not yet fetched at all — see Discovery for the exact boundary.
