> `fanout` makes the search queue when searching the HNSW graph larger. However, the searcher will still only return `k` results. So, searching for top `k=10` with `fanout=20` indicates the HNSW search (ef_search, if you will) will gather the nearest 30, but then only the top 10 of those are returned from the searcher. Maybe we should rename `fanout` to `ef_search` in luceneutil? I'll open an issue there. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
