## Description

This project provides a search service designed to retrieve and rerank web content for use in large language model applications. It functions as a retrieval augmented search engine that processes natural language queries to fetch contextually relevant information from external web sources.

The system distinguishes itself through a combination of semantic retrieval and precision-focused reranking. It converts user queries into high-dimensional embeddings to perform similarity searches across indexed collections, then refines these results by passing candidate pairs through a secondary model to improve relevance. To maintain service stability and prevent abuse, the platform incorporates traffic control mechanisms that restrict client request frequency through token-bucket rate limiting.

The architecture supports automated research workflows by fetching external content via asynchronous background workers, ensuring that data retrieval does not block the primary request cycle. The service is exposed through a stateless interface that processes incoming calls through a chain of validation and security middleware.
