Minimal steps to reproduce

Change the default setting in Chat.tsx for using semantic ranker from true to false, by changing the line const [useSemanticRanker, setUseSemanticRanker] = useState<boolean>(true); to const [useSemanticRanker, setUseSemanticRanker] = useState<boolean>(false);. Start the application Open the webpage from your webbrowser Select "Developer Settings" The option "use semantic ranker for retrieval" is still checked. Same applies to ask (when changing Ask.tsx and switching to the ask tab after the 3rd step)

Any log messages given by the failure

Expected/desired behavior

OS and Version?

Versions

I'm really sorry cause I don't know how to answer this one but I cloned this repository on April 9th.

Mention any other details that might be useful

To overcome this issue, the line setUseSemanticRanker(config.showSemanticRankerOption); in Chat.tsx (or in Ask.tsx to solve the issue for the ask tab) must be removed. The question is, why this line is there in the first place and whether removing it will lead to any unexpected behavior.
