Search

Search

The search page (/search) provides unified search across episode metadata and transcript content.

Search Modes

Mode Description
Hybrid (default) Combines keyword and semantic search
Keyword PostgreSQL full-text search only
Semantic Vector similarity search only

Result Types

Search returns two types of results:

Badge Description
"title" Matched episode title or description
"keyword" Matched transcript text via full-text search
"semantic" Matched transcript meaning via embeddings
"both" Matched by both keyword and semantic search

Transcript results include timestamps and link directly to the relevant position in the episode.

Tips

  • Hybrid mode works best for most queries -- it combines exact keyword matching with meaning-based search
  • Semantic mode is useful when you don't remember the exact words -- search for concepts and synonyms
  • Keyword mode is best when you know the exact phrase that was said

See Search Architecture for technical details on how search works.
