How results are ranked
Keywords uses PostgreSQL text ranking (ts_rank_cd), not BM25. Meaning compares the query vector with passages in the selected language and keeps cosine similarities of at least 0.60. RRF sums 1 / (60 + rank) for each signal. Each article then keeps its highest-ranking passage. The large list numbers are article positions; contributions use chunk positions.
This view shows the search engine’s ranking. The Articles catalog additionally prioritizes direct title matches and adds metadata matches, so its displayed order can differ.
