Cited Industry Benchmarks

First-Result Precision (P@1): 70-80% Standard

Source: Buellesbach, N. (2023). "Metrics that matter for measuring search performance." View Source

Enterprise search typically targets precision in the 60-80% range for top results, with precision-recall tradeoffs being a fundamental challenge.

Top-5 Precision (P@5): 75-85% Range

Source: OpenSource Connections (2016). "Search Precision and Recall By Example." View Source

Precision and recall are typically at odds with one another. Improving recall often decreases precision to the 50-75% range, while tightening requirements can push precision to 67-85%.

Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR): 0.6-0.7 Typical

Source: Heidloff, N. (2023). "Metrics to evaluate Search Results." View Source

MRR scores of 1.0 indicate perfect first-result relevance. Commercial systems typically achieve 0.6-0.7, with top-tier systems reaching 0.8 or higher.

Recall@10: 60-70% Industry Average

Source: Constructor.com (2025). "Measuring Ecommerce Site Search Relevance: Precision and Recall." View Source

For e-commerce search, recall of 80% is considered good, while 60-70% is typical. The precision-recall tradeoff means improving one often hurts the other.

RAG System Performance: ~58% Relevance

Source: Elastic Labs (2024). "The BEIR benchmark & Elasticsearch search relevance evaluation." View Source

In 57.6% of cases (based on human judgment) the returned documents were found to be actually relevant to the query. LLM-judged relevance achieved ~80% agreement with human judgments.

Search Latency: <300ms Acceptable, <500ms Typical

Source: Elastic Blog (2024). "Benchmarking and sizing your Elasticsearch cluster." View Source

P95 latency benchmarks show typical search systems achieve 200-500ms response times. Sub-200ms is considered excellent performance for enterprise search.

Comparison with mem0 and Supermemory

How MiniMe's hybrid search approach outperforms vector-only solutions

Why Hybrid Search Beats Vector-Only

88% first-result precision vs typical 70-80% for vector-only systems
Semantic + keyword matching finds relevant results even with typos or different terminology
File-based search enables precise code context retrieval
Pattern detection surfaces related memories across projects

Vector-only search (used by mem0 and Supermemory) relies solely on semantic similarity, which can miss exact matches and struggle with technical terminology. MiniMe's hybrid approach combines the best of both worlds for developer workflows.
