# Knowledge Base Search

## When to Use
- You need to find specific facts, definitions, or procedures from a local knowledge base and return the exact source location.
- You must provide traceable citations (file path + page/paragraph/section) for audit, compliance, or review.
- You need to verify the original wording of a claim in the source document (quote-level validation).
- You want to compare how multiple local documents discuss the same topic and identify differences.
- You need to assemble supporting snippets for a report, FAQ, or internal knowledge response using only local materials.

## Key Features
- Supports multiple retrieval approaches: direct file search, index-based search, and PageIndex-style location mapping.
- Query strategy guidance: keyword splitting, synonym expansion, and optional filters (time range, file type, tags).
- Relevance-oriented result ranking and filtering to keep the most supportive evidence first.
