Retrieval and search
What is hybrid search
Hybrid search combines different search approaches to produce more robust results.
Short definition
Hybrid search mixes literal text matching and semantic closeness to balance precision and flexibility.
What it means
Instead of relying only on keywords or only on embeddings, it combines both signals to recover better candidates.
How to understand it better
That is useful because some queries need exact textual precision while others depend more on understanding intent or meaning.
How Dialo.ar uses it
Dialo.ar can use this logic when a catalog must respond well both to exact searches and to more conversational or ambiguous requests.
Frequently asked questions
Because each one solves different problems better, and together they are often stronger.
Fewer lost queries and more useful results when the customer does not phrase the request perfectly.
