search — Search entries by meaning and by name.
search_semantic — Like search, but ranked by meaning alone, without the boost for title and alias matches.
search_lexical — Full-text search for exact words and "quoted phrases" in every entry body (case-insensitive, all terms must appear in the same section).
get_entry — Full text of one entry as markdown: frontmatter (aliases, dates, typed relations with sources), body with links rewritten to site URLs, and footnoted citations.
neighbors — Entries directly connected to one entry in the link graph, wikilinked ones first, each marked "links to", "linked from", "links both ways", or "named in prose".
find_path — Shortest documented chain of connections between two entries.
similar — Entries most similar in subject matter to one entry, whether or not they link to it.
timeline — Everything dated to a year, a year range, or an entry, with its source: frontmatter dates, typed relation start and end dates, and every sentence in the archive that gives a date in range ("October 14, 1988", "late 1974", "winter 1975"), each with the footnotes that source it.
