After several rounds of Testing Center runs, Ridgeline's admin notices vector search consistently retrieves the correct discharge-instruction chunk for owner questions phrased in plain language, while keyword search consistently wins for exact drug-name lookups. What should the admin most reasonably conclude?

Short Explanation
This isn't a contradiction to throw out — it's exactly the expected pattern, and it's the strongest argument for reaching for hybrid search so both query styles are covered.
Full Explanation
This pattern is exactly what's expected given each search type's known strengths — vector search naturally excels at plain-language, paraphrased queries because it matches on meaning, while keyword search naturally excels at exact terms like drug names — so the reasonable conclusion is that a hybrid approach could serve both query patterns well by combining the two strengths rather than forcing a single, one-size-fits-all choice. Neither search type is 'broken'; both are behaving according to their design, so reporting this as a bug misunderstands how these two mechanisms are intended to differ from each other. Agent type (Employee, Service, or Sales) governs the agent's role and security model, and rebuilding the agent with a different type addresses none of this — search-type behavior is a retriever-level concern, unrelated to agent type. Dismissing consistent, repeated Testing Center results as contradictory and ignorable throws away exactly the kind of signal Testing Center exists to surface, and a repeatable pattern across multiple runs is meaningful evidence, not noise. For the exam, recognize this complementary-strengths pattern as the textbook justification for choosing hybrid search.
