Production ready RAG: improve re-ranking

Improve Re-ranking for better results.

With Elasticsearch as vector store in Conversational Search for 70 books, Elasticsearch gets confused/overwhelmed, and could not answer a question of “What is XYZ?“, but removing the trailing “?” results in a proper answer.

Conversational search should support hybrid search with keyword search.

    Rhis is specific to ES and we aren't likely to do this.

    Thank you for your input, you refer to conversational search so I assume AI assistants, have you tried our Knowledge feature of agents?

    Does it behaves better or the same?

    This is where we are investing and recommend our customers/partners to go to asap, let us know if there is any reason preventing you to do so.
