SearchSpider: source-linked agentic retrieval for Burmese historical research
Q331's researcher profile explicitly links SearchSpider, a tool documented for historical questions across Burmese royal orders and chronicles. Its agentic branch plans queries, retrieves and ranks passages, assesses evidence and writes source-linked synthesis with an inspectable trail. This recommendation covers the intended L3 tool workflow alone. Reported retrieval evaluations are author-reported and informed development; neither live operation nor historical conclusions were independently verified.
L3Multi-step tool-using agentic workflow (workflow level, not a quality rating) Source: Repository-documented
Research applicability
Followed one explicit profile link to concrete primary tool documentation and evaluation methods. Recommend SearchSpider rather than the profile or the whole portfolio; distinct source and repository identity preserved.
Getting started
Untested editorial suggestion: read the pinned primary method documentation and specify a small non-sensitive task with researcher checks before separately considering execution.
Maintenance
Dated source snapshot only; present availability, maintenance and version parity require separate checks.
License
Source visibility is not reuse clearance; source/model/data licenses and rights require separate checking.
Workflow & human oversight
Scope: Precisely documented intended use only; no live execution or independent outcome validation Human control: Researcher supplies question/source filters and can inspect passages, identifiers and model verdicts; access/reading budgets constrain calls. These are documented interfaces for supervision; completed researcher validation and historical truth are not observed. Stage connections: Tool coordinates planning, retrieval, evidence assessment and synthesis towards a user historical question. Basic retrieval uses no LLM; optional deeper reading follows the existing ranking rather than issuing new queries. Stopping: Bounded reading rounds and usage controls are described; optional deeper reading remains in rank order. No autonomous experiment or open-ended scientific-convergence loop claimed. Missing evidence: Live access, corpus completeness, model judgment correctness and actual researcher validation not tested. Evaluations use model-assisted labels and development-tuned rankings.
Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.
Approach
- Gemini query-aspect planning, local hybrid retrieval/ranking, document evidence assessment and cited synthesis in agentic mode
Outcomes (as reported by the originating team)
Source reports and comparisons remain author-reported. No numerical benefit, superiority or independent reproduction is established by this review.
Limitations
- Q331 original queue title/profile URL preserved as discovery provenance; SearchSpider has its own canonical URL and immutable repository ID. Other profile projects are not aliases. - No live search, model/agent invocation, account, corpus download or code execution. - Evaluation reference sets are model-assisted; documents outside reference lists are ungraded and rankings were tuned on development hunts. - Reported2067evaluation units are positive question-document pairs, not unique archive documents; no numerical benefit headline adopted. - Source search is currently English; Burmese text is retained for reading. Corpus texts/weights/production databases are not included, and rights remain separate. - AI editorial review, not human editorial verification.
Reproducibility
AI editorial source review only. No candidate code, model, agent, experiment or reported outcome independently executed or reproduced.
Adoption requirements
Untested editorial suggestions: inspect source version, rights, data boundaries and human checks before any separately authorised adoption. This pass installs, invokes and contacts nothing.
