There’s a major shift underway in information retrieval: search agents with broader capabilities and access to more tools than any systems before them.

the information retrieval community has long known that structured queries provide more precise and surgical interaction with a corpus compared to keywords. together with folks at umass, led by @SalemiAlireza7, we show the effective and efficient use of the same tools by agents.
