FRDC search: 'carp control' returns 0 results despite a 50-doc Carp Control topic #35

Description

@jaysanderson

What

On FRDC, searching "carp control" returns 0 results, even though:

  • carp -> 10 results and control -> 8 results individually
  • a "Carp Control" topic with ~50 resources exists in the facet sidebar
  • Explore suggests "What is the National Carp Control Plan?"

Other two-word queries work fine (carp management -> 6, aquaculture research -> 6, fisheries research -> 14, governance reporting -> 2), so it is isolated to this phrase, not a systemic multi-word bug.

Likely cause

Observed mid-load: only the old 1971-1992 fisheries reports were ingested; the modern National Carp Control Plan content was not in the box yet.

Action

  • Re-test after the full FRDC load + re-analysis completes.
  • If it persists post-load, investigate the search-config relevance floor / reranker cutoff that could drop a diluted 2-word query to zero. Do not change the retrieval layer mid-load.

Where

packages/retrieval/src/providers/arag (search + stored search configs), FRDC box.
