Rename Search Quality tab to ANN Recall in tutorial

Web UI is renaming the tab, card title, and column header to
"ANN Recall" alongside the precision-to-recall switch. Update the
prose and screenshot alt text to match. Button label
(Check Index Quality) stays as is.

## Measure ANN Recall with the Web UI
Qdrant's Web UI includes a Search Quality tab that measures the gap between approximate and exact search without writing evaluation code. Open the dashboard at `http://localhost:6333/dashboard` (or your cluster's dashboard on Qdrant Cloud), navigate to your collection, open the Search Quality tab, and click **Check Index Quality** to run the comparison.

The tab reports average **recall@k** (1.0 = perfect overlap; 0.95+ is typical for well-tuned HNSW).
## Tuning Search Recall
Toggle **advanced mode** in the Search Quality tab to tune search-time parameters inline. The main one is `hnsw_ef`: the number of candidates evaluated during a search. Raising it explores more of the graph, improving recall at the cost of higher query latency. To see the effect, raise `hnsw_ef` (for example, to 256) and run the evaluation again.

Recall should increase at the cost of higher query latency.

If `hnsw_ef` alone does not get you to your recall target, the build-time parameters `m` and `ef_construct` set the ceiling on the recall approximate search can achieve. Changing them requires rebuilding the HNSW index. For the trade-offs and how to choose values, see [HNSW Indexing Fundamentals](/course/essentials/day-2/what-is-hnsw/) in the Qdrant Essentials course.
