为智能搜索设计可交互的受限数据空间,提升效率与稳定性。
Towards Retrieving Interaction Spaces for Agentic Search

- 用BM25构建受控交互空间,限制代理探索范围。
- 在100万文档上实现81%准确率,查询成本仅为原方法1/4。
- 适合需要高效、低延迟检索的智能搜索系统开发者。
当前搜索代理的检索仍沿用传统非自主检索方式:检索器对语料库排序,代理仅阅读少量返回文档。近期直接语料库交互(DCI)研究显示,代理可通过grep、文件读取等壳工具直接与原始语料库交互。但无边界交互无法扩展:每个宽泛的壳命令都需扫描整个语料库,随语料增长延迟急剧上升。我们认为,智能搜索中的检索任务不仅是筛选能放入LLM上下文窗口的文档,更应构建一个交互空间:即代理可探索的语料受限子集及其配套工具。由此衍生两个设计原则:空间需由检索提供边界,内部对象需预处理以支持交互。作为概念验证,我们提出RISE(Retrieving Interaction SpacE):使用BM25构建交互空间;同时在索引阶段对文档进行预处理,支持壳式导航。在BrowseComp-Plus数据集上,RISE以gpt-5.4-mini达到78%准确率,查询成本约为纯壳式DCI基线的四分之一。在100万文档场景下,RISE-BM25在gpt-5.4-mini上达81%准确率,而DCI在gpt-5.4-nano上准确率降至60%,且100次查询中有33次发生时钟失败。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Retrieval for search agents is still inherited from non-agentic information retrieval: a retriever ranks the corpus and the agent reads a small set of returned documents. Recent direct corpus interaction (DCI) work shows that agents can instead interact with the raw corpus through shell tools such as grep and file reads. But unbounded interaction does not scale: every broad shell command is a scan over the whole corpus, and latency degrades sharply as the corpus grows. We argue that the role of retrieval for agentic search is not just to select documents that fit in the LLM context window, but to construct an interaction space: a bounded subset of the corpus the agent can explore with associated tools. Two design consequences follow. The space needs a boundary supplied by retrieval, and the objects within it should be processed for interaction. As a proof of concept, we propose RISE (Retrieving Interaction SpacE): we use BM25 to construct the interaction space; meanwhile, its documents are processed during indexing for shell-style navigation. On BrowseComp-Plus, RISE matches the pure-shell DCI baseline at 78% accuracy with gpt-5.4-mini at roughly one quarter of the per-query cost. At 1M documents, RISE-BM25 reaches 81% on gpt-5.4-mini, whereas DCI on gpt-5.4-nano degrades to 60% with 33 of 100 wall-clock failures.
