+## [1.2.0] - 2025-12-15
+
+### Added
+
+- **RAG Search Endpoint** (`POST /rag/search`)
+  - Web, news, and image search via SearXNG
+  - Full content extraction using Trafilatura (F1 score 0.958)
+  - Redis caching with configurable TTL
+  - Markdown sources summary for LLM consumption
+  - Returns both extracted content and original snippets
+
+- **Content Extraction Endpoints** (`/content/*`)
+  - `POST /content/extract` - Extract content from a single URL
+  - `POST /content/extract/batch` - Batch extraction (up to 20 URLs)
+  - Reusable ContentExtractor client for use across the codebase
+
+- **HybridRAG Content Extraction Enhancement**
+  - Web search results now include full extracted content via Trafilatura
+  - Falls back to original snippets if extraction fails
+  - Improves context quality for LLM re-ranking and consumption
+
+### Changed
+
+- Added new configuration options:
+  - `SEARCH_CACHE_TTL` - Search cache TTL in seconds (default: 300)
+  - `SEARCH_TIMEOUT` - SearXNG timeout (default: 10s)
+  - `CONTENT_EXTRACTION_TIMEOUT` - Per-URL extraction timeout (default: 5s)
+  - `CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH` - Max extracted content length (default: 2000)
+  - `SEARCH_DEFAULT_LIMIT` - Default search results (default: 10)
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Added `trafilatura~=1.12.0` for content extraction
+
 ## [1.1.3] - 2025-12-14
