Problem Description

I see that the current RAG Rerank feature is placed under the hybrid search function. However, I don’t need to use BM25 search — I only want to rerank the top-k results from the vector search. Is it possible to enable the RAG Rerank feature independently? For example, by configuring Rerank and hybrid search at the same level, instead of having Rerank nested under hybrid search.

Desired Solution you'd like

For example, by configuring Rerank and hybrid search at the same level, instead of having Rerank nested under hybrid search.
