The technical support team of a supercomputing centre accumulates, over the course of decades, a large volume of resolved incidents that constitute critical operational knowledge. At the Galician Supercomputing Center (CESGA) this history has been managed for over twenty years with Request Tracker (RT), whose built-in search engine has significant limitations that hinder knowledge reuse by the support staff. This paper presents Fragata, a semantic ticket search system that combines modern information retrieval techniques with the full RT history. The system can find relevant past incidents regardless of language, the presence of typos, or the specific wording of the query. The architecture is deployed on CESGA's infrastructure, supports incremental updates without service interruption, and offloads the most expensive stages to the FinisTerrae III supercomputer. Preliminary results show a substantial qualitative improvement over RT's native search.
