Hybrid Search with AI Embeddings

Traditional full-text search has served us well for decades, but it carries fundamental limitations that become increasingly apparent as user expectations grow. Typos derail queries. Synonyms go unrecognized. A search for "car" fails to surface results about "automobiles." Cross-lingual retrieval remains a distant dream. And contextual understanding—grasping that a query about "products by manufacturer X" should return relevant items even when the manufacturer name doesn't appear explicitly—simply isn't possible with keyword matching alone.
