Review search settings
Search settings show the current search method and embedding model.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Semantic search | Retrieves document chunks with similar meaning. Requires an embedding model. |
| Keyword search | Retrieves document chunks that contain entered words. |
| Embedding model | Converts documents to numeric vectors for semantic search. |
See Chunking and search options for search-method and model selection guidance. Available models depend on system configuration.
For knowledge with documents, the search method and embedding model are locked. To change them, clear the documents with the following procedure and then add them again.

- At the bottom of the Settings tab, select Change settings.
- Review the deletion scope in the confirmation dialog.
- Enter the knowledge name as instructed.
- Select Delete all and unlock settings.
- Select the search method and embedding model again.
- Add the documents again and wait for processing to complete.
- Test the results again on the Search tab.
You do not need to clear documents to change the alias, description, or tags.
