Search & Retrieval

Introduction

CogMem provides a unified search API that combines full-text search with highlights, vector similarity search, and graph-based entity expansion. The active MemoryStrategy governs which retrieval mode is used — the system learns whether FTS, vector, graph, or hybrid search works best for your domain.

Challenges

• Combining multiple search modalities into a unified API.
• Adapting retrieval strategy based on domain characteristics.
• Providing meaningful highlights and faceted filtering.
• Expanding search results with related entities from the knowledge graph.

Solution

The search API resolves the active retrieval policy from the MemoryStrategy, then executes the appropriate search workflow. Results include highlighted snippets, faceted filters, and related entities. Outcome events are emitted after every search so the ACP can learn which retrieval approach works best.
