[daniel-baf]

Closes #241

PR Type

• type:bug — Bug fix

• type:docs — Documentation only
• type:refactor — Code refactoring (no behavior change)
• type:chore — Maintenance, dependencies, tooling
• type:breaking-change — Breaking change

Summary

• Replaced SQLite FTS5 default ranking (fts.rank) in Store.Search query with a weighted BM25 query: bm25(observations_fts, 5.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 3.0).
• Prioritizes matches in title (5.0 weight) and topic_key (3.0 weight) over lower-relevance columns like tool_name or type.
• Added unit test coverage validating that title matches rank higher than content matches.

Changes

File	Change
internal/store/store.go	Replace fts.rank with bm25(...) query and update ORDER BY clause
internal/store/store_test.go	Add TestSearch_WeightedBM25Ranking unit test

Test Plan

• Unit tests pass locally: go test ./...
• E2E tests pass locally: go test -tags e2e ./internal/server/...
• Manually tested the affected functionality (verified via unit test)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Store.Search now computes rank via bm25(observations_fts, 5.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 3.0) instead of fts.rank, applying per-column weights to the FTS5 query, and sorts results by that alias. A new test verifies the title-match observation is ranked before the content-match observation.

Changes

Weighted BM25 FTS5 Ranking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
BM25 rank projection, ordering, and regression test internal/store/store.go, internal/store/store_test.go	Store.Search projection replaces fts.rank with bm25(observations_fts, 5.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 3.0) as rank and the ORDER BY clause updated to reference the new alias. TestSearch_WeightedBM25Ranking seeds two observations and asserts the title-matching result precedes the content-matching result.
