Hybrid Search
Combining keyword and semantic search for more comprehensive results.
Definition
Hybrid search combines traditional keyword-based search with semantic vector search to leverage the strengths of both approaches. Keyword search excels at finding exact matches and specific terms, while semantic search finds conceptually related content. By combining results from both methods, hybrid search delivers more comprehensive and accurate results than either approach alone.
