Search Update: Hybrid Balance Tuning, Visible Relevance Scores, Better AI Summaries, Locale Filter Fix

Five changes to search in one release: better hybrid balance, visible relevance scores, more accurate AI summaries, a fixed locale filter, and automatic recognition of dense vector indexes.

01 What changed

• Hybrid balance tuned. Hybrid search, combining keyword and semantic relevance, now produces more balanced and more relevant results.
• Relevance scores are visible. Search relevance scores now appear on all result pages.
• AI summaries are more context-aware. AI-powered search summaries are more accurate and take more context into account.
• Locale filter fixed. The language and locale filter in search now correctly filters results.
• Dense vector indexes recognised automatically. They are picked up for semantic search with no extra configuration.

02 Why the scores are worth looking at

With hybrid balance changing and vector indexes now being detected on their own, the ranking of a given query can shift without anything visible on the page explaining why. Showing the relevance score on every result page makes that shift readable rather than mysterious.
