Visual document retrieval (VDR) systems depend on page embeddings computed before deployment, which makes adaptation difficult when encoder parameters or corpus re-encoding are unavailable. Rerankers provide useful relevance signals, but conventional reranking applies them only to selected queries and candidate pages. We introduce Q-REACT, a query-side test-time adaptation method that converts limited reranker feedback into reusable retrieval improvements. Q-REACT learns a shared low-rank transformation that produces query-dependent residuals, combines adapted query scores with document-level context, and distills reranker preferences with a student distribution normalized over the complete task-specific page index. This design lets unscored pages compete through cached embeddings while keeping the encoders and page index fixed. Across eight ViDoRe V3 tasks and five open-weight and proprietary backbones, Q-REACT improves average retrieval over evaluated baselines at sparse and full-coverage budgets, transfers to held-out queries and tasks, and adds little inference overhead. The results show that finite reranker feedback can be amortized across a query collection without retraining or rebuilding the retriever.
