| Adjust number of nearest neighbours returned in Vector Search relative to number of FAIR Datasets | Enhancement | FAIR-9190 | Vector search returns a set number of results identified as 'near neighbours' i.e. values closest to the search term in the vector mapping. Previously this was an absolute value, this change makes it relative to the total number of datasets within a FAIR hub. This should reduce the number of low value results returned by search. |
| Add ability to change weighting of Vector Search in search rankings | Enhancement | FAIR-9189 | This change allows hub owners to configure the weighting given to vector search results and manage their ranking relative to keyword matches. |
