Implements ADR-012 by adding multi-algorithm support to the MCP tool.
Key changes:
- Added algorithm parameter: "semantic"|"keyword"|"fuzzy"|"hybrid" (default: "hybrid")
- Added weight parameters for hybrid mode configuration
- Replaced direct Qdrant/embedding calls with search module abstractions
- Updated docstring to describe all four algorithms
- Simplified implementation: ~50 lines vs ~150 lines (67% reduction)
- Better error handling for missing vector sync
Algorithm selection:
- semantic: Pure vector similarity (requires VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true)
- keyword: Token-based matching with weighted title/content scoring
- fuzzy: Character overlap for typo tolerance
- hybrid: RRF fusion with configurable weights (default: 0.5/0.3/0.2)
Backward compatibility:
- Tool name unchanged (nc_semantic_search)
- New parameters have sensible defaults
- Existing clients get hybrid search automatically (better than pure semantic)
- search_method field in response reflects actual algorithm used
Weight validation:
- Performed in HybridSearchAlgorithm constructor
- Must sum to ≤1.0 and all non-negative
- At least one weight must be > 0
- Clear error messages on validation failure
Next: Update viz pane to use same algorithms
