Cosine scores in voyage-3 (~0.4-0.5) and voyage-multimodal-3
(~0.2-0.25) live on different scales. The previous weighted-sum
merge let text always dominate — verified empirically: 0 image-only
hits across 7 queries on case 8174-24, image side contributed nothing.
RRF combines by *rank* in each list rather than raw score, robust
to scale differences. Per-item score:
rrf_score = text_weight / (k + text_rank)
+ image_weight / (k + image_rank)
A row that appears in both lists (joined on (id_field, page_number))
gets both terms — surfaced as match_type='text+image'.
After fix on 8174-24 (146 image rows): 2 image-only hits land in
top-5 across all 7 test queries, surfacing actual table/diagram/
signature pages (p12, p13 of שומת המשיבה for 'טבלת השוואת ערכי שומה',
p25 of שומת השגה for 'תרשים גוש וחלקה', etc).
On 8137-24 (273 image rows): 'חישוב היוון של דמי החכירה' goes from
0 baseline results → 5 hybrid results (3 text + 2 image), opening
recall on scanned content the OCR layer misses.
Default MULTIMODAL_TEXT_WEIGHT 0.65 → 0.5 (vanilla RRF) since the
prior 0.65 was tuned for raw cosine scales that no longer apply.
New env knob MULTIMODAL_RRF_K (default 60, standard literature).
