Qdrant Search Quality
First determine whether the problem is the embedding model, Qdrant configuration, or the query strategy. Most quality issues come from the model or data, not from Qdrant itself. If search quality is low, inspect how chunks are being passed to Qdrant before tuning any parameters. Splitting mid-sentence can drop quality 30-40%.
- Start by testing with exact search to isolate the problem [Search API](https://skills.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/search/search/?s=search-api)
Diagnosis and Tuning
Isolate the source of quality issues, establish labeled baselines to measure recall and relevance, tune HNSW parameters, and choose the right embedding model. [Diagnosis and Tuning](diagnosis/SKILL.md)
Search Strategies
Hybrid search, reranking, relevance feedback, and exploration APIs for improving result quality. [Search Strategies](search-strategies/SKILL.md)
