Manticore Search

Advanced full-text search mode with BM25 ranking for richer relevance ordering.

Overview

Manticore mode provides advanced ranking beyond baseline hash indexing.

When to Use

Use Manticore when you need:

  • better relevance ranking
  • complex text matching behavior
  • large corpus retrieval tuning

Basic Workflow

  1. Enable Manticore indexing for target directories.
  2. Wait until status is ready.
  3. Run your CQL query and compare ranking quality.

Profile Isolation

Manticore data is separated by profile.

  • each profile keeps its own search database
  • switching profile switches active Manticore dataset
  • this helps avoid cross-case data pollution

External Index Transfer

If you attach external index data (+ DB Add), it can be transferred into Manticore flow for ranking-based queries.

Operational Notes

  • Ensure required ports are free.
  • Rebuild index after major content updates.
  • Keep antivirus exclusions if daemon startup is blocked.

If Search Fails

See Troubleshooting and reinitialize Manticore data if needed.
