Retrieval
Hybrid search
Combining keyword search and semantic search, so both exact terms (names, codes) and meaning are matched.
Keyword search catches product codes and rare names that embeddings can miss; semantic search catches paraphrases. Merging both, then reranking, is a common production setup.
