Beyond vector search: building an adaptive search router for agentic AI systems

Author's): Abi

Originally published in Towards Artificial Intelligence.

A practical guide to making search a learnable decision layer – with code, architecture, and production trade-offs.

Vector search is perfect for “one query, one answer” workflows. But agentic AI systems download data multiple times as part of the plan – and a small mistake at the beginning becomes a compound error that derails the entire task.

Beyond vector search: building an adaptive search router for agentic AI systems

Adaptive Search Router Architecture: Query → Router (extracts features, evaluates strategies) → Ingester (keyword/vector/hybrid) → Evaluator → Feedback Loop → Telemetry

This paper discusses the need for an adaptive search system for agentic AI, highlighting the problems associated with static search in dynamic workflows and illustrating the design of an adaptive search router that improves decision making through feedback loops, thereby eliminating complex errors and increasing the efficiency of search tasks.
