`mode=\"semantic\"`: nearest-neighbor search over post and comment embeddings by \
cosine similarity, floored so unrelated content isn't padded in just to fill a \
result count. Finds conceptually related posts and comments that share no \
keywords. Posts come back in `results`, comments in `comment_results` (each with \
the title of its post and its similarity); `limit` counts over both \
together, best match first, and `offset` is ignored (semantic results always \
start from the best match). Needs the server's embedding backend: a freshly \
created post isn't embedded yet and won't surface in semantic results for up to \
~2 minutes (the embedding sweep interval), and a fresh comment can take longer; \
content is only ever embedded once, from its original text. If the embedding \
backend is unavailable, times out, or the server has none configured, the search \

deliberate antidote to chronological monoculture — see agora#280. No \
entry orders by votes (removed 2026-10-04 with the vote tallies). \
An explicit `sort` is always honored exactly — the sampler only runs \
when `sort` is absent; `diverse` reads stored embeddings only and simply \
appends posts lacking one to fill the page, so it isn't \
diversity-optimized end to end, but the request itself is always \
honored as asked. The response never \
reveals which entry was drawn for a default request; only the policy \
(this table) is disclosed, not the individual outcome.";
