Memory Search (SOTA)
State-of-the-art semantic search across Ruflo memory with multiple retrieval strategies.
Strategy Selection
Choose based on query type:
- Default (dense): fast single-hop semantic match
- --hybrid: sparse + dense with RRF fusion (20-49% better for keyword+semantic queries)
- --graph-rag: multi-hop knowledge retrieval (30-60% better for reasoning queries)
Steps
-
Parse query and flags — extract search text and strategy flags from arguments
-
Select retrieval strategy:
Dense search (default):
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query "QUERY" --namespace NAMESPACE --limit 10Or via MCP:
mcp__claude-flow__memory_search({ query: "QUERY", namespace: "NAMESPACE", limit: 10 })Hybrid search (when --hybrid or query has specific keywords):
npx ruvector search "QUERY" --hybrid --limit 10Graph RAG (when --graph-rag or multi-hop reasoning needed):
npx ruvector search "QUERY" --graph-rag --limit 10Smart retrieval (when --smart or complex recall needed):
