# Handling Ambiguity
## Handling Ambiguity
When a query is ambiguous, prefer asking one focused clarifying question over guessing:
```
Ambiguous: "search for the migration"
→ "I found references to a few migrations. Are you looking for:
1. The database migration (Project Phoenix)
2. The cloud migration (AWS → GCP)
3. The email migration (Exchange → O365)"
```
Only ask for clarification when:
- There are genuinely distinct interpretations that would produce very different results
- The ambiguity would significantly affect which sources to search
Do NOT ask for clarification when:
- The query is clear enough to produce useful results
- Minor ambiguity can be resolved by returning results from multiple interpretations
