description: Learn how to configure reranking in Quivr.
---
Quivr uses its own reranking service to improve the quality of search results. This guide will show you how to configure the reranking service in Quivr.
## Reranking Configuration
We are using FlashrankRerank from [Flashrank](https://github.com/PrithivirajDamodaran/FlashRank) to improve the quality of search results.
It is a reranking open-source library that uses deep learning models to rerank search results.
## Use Cohere ReRanker
To use the Cohere ReRanker, you need to configure the following environment variables in your `.env` file:
```bash
COHERE_API_KEY=your-cohere-api-key
```
By default, the `COHERE_API_KEY` variable is not set. If you want to use the Cohere ReRanker, you need to set it to your Cohere API key.
## Configuration
By default the Ranker outputs the best 5 results.
We only use the Cohere ReRanker to improve the quality of search results. We do not collect any personal data or sensitive information.
