## Search Modes Explained

### Hybrid Search (Recommended)

Combines dense vector similarity with sparse keyword matching using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).

**Best for:** General-purpose search, natural language queries, balanced precision/recall

**Performance:** 97.1% precision, 82.1% recall, <75ms response time

### Semantic Search

Dense vector similarity search using sentence embeddings.

**Best for:** Conceptual queries, finding similar ideas expressed differently

**Performance:** 94.2% precision, 78.3% recall, <50ms response time

### Exact Search

Exact text matching with tokenization.

**Best for:** Finding specific phrases, error messages, configuration values

**Performance:** 100% precision for exact matches, <20ms response time

### Symbol Search

Specialized search for code symbols (functions, classes, variables).

**Best for:** Code navigation, API discovery, refactoring assistance

**Performance:** 100% precision, 78.3% recall, <20ms response time

## Error Handling

All API endpoints return structured error responses:

```json
{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "type": "ValidationError",
        "message": "Invalid collection name",
        "details": {
            "field": "collection",
            "value": "invalid-name"
        }
    },
    "timestamp": "2024-08-28T10:30:00Z"
}
```

### Common Error Types

- `ValidationError`: Invalid input parameters
- `CollectionNotFoundError`: Specified collection doesn't exist
- `DocumentNotFoundError`: Document ID not found
- `QdrantConnectionError`: Cannot connect to Qdrant server
- `EmbeddingError`: Embedding generation failed
- `ProjectDetectionError`: Cannot detect project structure

## Rate Limiting and Performance

### Default Limits

- **Concurrent requests:** 10 per client
- **Request rate:** 100 requests/minute per client
- **Maximum query length:** 8192 characters
- **Maximum document size:** 10MB
- **Maximum batch size:** 100 documents

### Performance Optimization

**For high-throughput scenarios:**
```python
# Use larger batch sizes
BATCH_SIZE=100

# Enable query caching
ENABLE_QUERY_CACHE=true

# Use multiple worker processes
workspace-qdrant-mcp --workers 4
```

**For memory-constrained environments:**
```python
# Reduce batch size
BATCH_SIZE=20

# Smaller chunk size
CHUNK_SIZE=500
CHUNK_OVERLAP=100
```

## Authentication

workspace-qdrant-mcp currently supports:

- **No authentication** (development mode)
- **Qdrant API key** (if Qdrant server requires authentication)

Future versions will include:
- HTTP Basic Auth
- JWT token authentication
- API key authentication
