Advanced Retrieval

Mem0’s Advanced Retrieval feature delivers superior search results by leveraging state-of-the-art search algorithms. Beyond the default search functionality, Mem0 offers the following advanced retrieval modes:

1. Keyword Search

   This mode emphasizes keywords within the query, returning memories that contain the most relevant keywords alongside those from the default search. By default, this parameter is set to false. Enabling it enhances search recall, though it may slightly impact precision.

   client.search(query, keyword_search=True, user_id='alex')
   

2. Reranking

   Reranking allows you to reorder the memories returned by the default search based on relevance. This parameter is set to false by default. When enabled, it reorders the memories based on the relevance score.

   client.search(query, rerank=True, user_id='alex')
   

3. Filtering

   Filtering enables you to narrow down the search results by applying specific criteria. This parameter is set to false by default. Activating it enhances search precision, potentially reducing recall by a small margin.

   client.search(query, filter_memories=True, user_id='alex')
   

Note: You can enable or disable these search modes by passing the respective parameters to the search method. There is no required sequence for these modes, and any combination can be used based on your needs.
