The question

Can users find the right troubleshooting note in their own words?

  1. 01

    Choose real questions

    Include exact error codes, different wording and misleading keyword matches.

  2. 02

    Compare the search

    Use the same text and embeddings. Tune word and meaning scores on a separate test set.

  3. 03

    Open the source

    Return the current note and related system. Check access and show the matching passage.

What to check

Useful results

Check exact-word and reworded questions separately.

Ranking changes

Test how different weights change the result order.

Response time

Include search, record reads and relationship queries.

Before you move data

Plan your move.

Copy the data. Then check your queries, access rules and updates before switching.

Explore Migrate Check compatibility

  1. Map objects and links

    Preserve IDs, fields, references and vector settings. Decide how links become relationships.

  2. Keep search settings clear

    Review embedding generation, text processing and ranking. Moving vectors alone does not recreate the search.

  3. Test the new calls

    Use supported client APIs. Compare results, updates and deletes before switching.

Common questions.

Is hybrid search exclusive to OriginChainDB?

No. Weaviate also combines keyword and vector search. Compare quality, filters and source-record handling on the same data.

Should I use old GraphQL examples?

Check current Weaviate guidance first. GraphQL is now deprecated. Use the supported API for your client and deployment.
