QUALITYComparison metricApplies to all quality views below.

Overall quality

Mean relative shows average quality across the selected dataset/query-set cohorts. Quality floor shows the engine’s worst relative result: how close it stays to the best observed result even on its weakest cohort. Engines missing a selected cohort remain visible but are not ranked.

Reference values are computed from all benchmarked engines for the selected datasets and modes, including engines currently hidden by the engine filter. Higher is better for both Mean relative and Quality floor.

Quality consistency across datasets

Each small dot is one selected dataset, normalized to the best observed result on that dataset. The ring marks the engine’s weakest dataset (Quality floor); the diamond marks Mean relative. A tight cluster near 100% means consistently strong quality without large workload-specific drops. Engines with partial coverage are labeled with their dataset count and use a hollow mean marker.

Dataset × engine quality matrix

Each cell uses the best result among the selected search modes for one dataset/query-set cohort. TREC-COVID appears once per official topic field (query, question, narrative); distinct short and long query sets are separate columns, and identical texts share one “same text” cohort. “Per-dataset relative” is the engine score divided by the best observed score in that cohort. Color uses a fixed scale, so the same percentage always has the same color across filters and screenshots.

Search mode comparison

Compares Full-text, Vector, and Hybrid on one normalized cross-dataset scale. Each point is that engine/mode’s mean per-dataset quality relative to the best observed result in the same dataset. Lines connect the modes in the order Full-text → Vector → Hybrid.

Filled markers have complete coverage for the selected datasets. Hollow markers are partial and include their coverage in the tooltip.
