 Hybrid search with PostgreSQL and pgvector | Jonathan Katz

in the context of vector search, “hybrid search” is the act of combining an alternative searching method with a vector similarity search. Hybrid search uses multiple search methods over the same data, performs a ranking of the results for each search method, and then combines all the results to determine a final ranking before returning the results. Hybrid search is often used to improve the quality of the returned results, or in other words, boost the “recall” rate.
