# Enable Query Decomposition

> `(enable_query_decomposition)`

## Description

Toggles the query decomposition module `on` or `off`. When enabled, the module will break down complex and compound queries into a series of simpler queries. Each sub-query will have individual retrievals, which are then intelligently combined prior to any subsequent reranking, filtering, or generation steps. Simple queries, as judged by the model, will not be decomposed.
