ripvec-core 3.0.2

Semantic code + document search engine. Cacheless static-embedding + cross-encoder rerank by default; optional ModernBERT/BGE transformer engines with GPU backends. Tree-sitter chunking, hybrid BM25 + PageRank, composable ranking layers.
Documentation
//! Hybrid search: RRF fusion of semantic + BM25, then boosts and rerank.
//!
//! Port of `~/src/semble/src/semble/search.py`. Three entry points:
//!
//! - [`search_semantic`] — cosine similarity over the dense index.
//! - [`search_bm25`](crate::encoder::ripvec::bm25::search_bm25) — BM25
//!   scoring (re-exported from the bm25 module).
//! - [`search_hybrid`] — fuses both ranked lists via Reciprocal Rank
//!   Fusion (k=60), over-fetching `top_k * 5` candidates, then applies
//!   ripvec's `boost_multi_chunk_files` + `apply_query_boost` + the
//!   penalty-aware `rerank_topk`.
