Can someone explain how scores are calculated for hybrid search when I use different values for
limit
for the query and
k
for the vector search - does
limit
influence
k
in any way like set to
min(k, limit)
for any optimization? Or is
limit
is used for getting keyword search results and
k
is used for
vector
search results, followed by combining them and then finally taking the top
limit
results? I would assume that if I increase
k
say from 5 to 10 the results in the second option with
k
=10 should contain all the results in the first option with
k
=5. But I see otherwise. This happens in some cases in my very large dataset and not always and I have failed to create a minimal reproducible example.
