 This reference server stores a local knowledge graph and exposes entity, relation, observation, read, search, and open tools. It needs no model or embedding service. The example maps `DSH_MEMORY_USER_ID` to an isolated `MEMORY_FILE_PATH`.
 
+Search is case-insensitive substring matching over entity names, types, and observations, not semantic retrieval. The server does not add embeddings, automatic summarization, conflict resolution, or a forgetting policy.

 该参考服务器存储本地知识图谱，并公开实体、关系、观察、读取、搜索和打开工具。它不需要模型或 embedding 服务。该示例将 `DSH_MEMORY_USER_ID` 映射到隔离的 `MEMORY_FILE_PATH`。
 
+搜索只对实体名称、类型和 observation 进行不区分大小写的子字符串匹配，不是语义检索。该服务器不提供 embedding、自动摘要、冲突消解或遗忘策略。
