Hybrid Search Playbook for Character Cards

Hybrid search combines keyword precision with semantic understanding. Use this model to improve recall without sacrificing relevance.

Keyword mode

Best for exact names, known tags, and explicit terms. Use it when you already know what you want and need strict matching.

Semantic mode

Best for fuzzy intent. Use natural language descriptions when you do not know exact tags but know the behavior or vibe you need.

Hybrid mode

Start in hybrid mode for most discovery tasks. Then narrow with rating, lorebook, and creator filters to rank practical candidates.
