searchAnswer
Search entries by meaning and by name. Returns the best entries with their summary, URLs, and the sections that matched (heading, deep link, snippet). Works for natural-language questions ("CIA chemist who ran the LSD program"), names, aliases and codenames.

}search_semanticAnswer
Like search, but ranked by meaning alone, without the boost for title and alias matches. Fails rather than falling back when the embedding service is down.

}search_lexicalAnswer
Full-text search for exact words and "quoted phrases" in every entry body (case-insensitive, all terms must appear in the same section). Returns matching sections with snippets and the footnotes cited in them. Use for names, codenames, quotations and spellings that search by meaning blurs.

}find_pathAnswer
Shortest documented chain of connections between two entries. Steers around mega-hubs such as "United States" so each hop is a specific shared page, and prefers hops backed by a sourced typed relation. Each hop lists those relations (type, role, dates, and the footnote that sources it).

}timelineAnswer
Everything dated to a year, a year range, or an entry, with its source: frontmatter dates, typed relation start and end dates, and every sentence in the archive that gives a date in range ("October 14, 1988", "late 1974", "winter 1975"), each with the footnotes that source it. Grouped by the date as written and sorted, so conflicting accounts of the same event sit side by side. For an entry, reads that entry and the pages that link to it, keeping their sentences that name it.
