Paper finds LLMs misuse LIKE instead of semantic SEARCH when calling vector DB queries
CShorten30 · x · 2026-09-14
A paper, Querying Databases with Function Calling, tests how well LLMs map natural language commands to Weaviate queries and finds they often use LIKE or exact text match operators even when the command requires semantic SEARCH. The authors also propose AgentIR, a frame for the semantic spectrum between reasoning and query writing across the agent-search engine boundary.
