+## Search Functionality
+
+`haiku.rag` provides hybrid search combining vector similarity and full-text search:
+1. **Vector Search**: Uses embeddings to find semantically similar content
+2. **Full-text Search**: Uses SQLite FTS5 for exact keyword matching
+3. **Hybrid Ranking**: Combines both using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)
+4. **Chunked Results**: Returns relevant document chunks with scores
+
+```python
+# Basic search
+results = await client.search("your query here")
+
+# Search with custom parameters
+results = await client.search(
+    query="machine learning",
+    limit=10,  # Maximum results to return
+    k=60       # RRF parameter for reciprocal rank fusion
+)
+
+# Process results
+for chunk, relevance_score in results:
+    print(f"Relevance: {relevance_score:.3f}")
+    print(f"Content: {chunk.content}")
+    print(f"From document: {chunk.document_id}")
+```
