Hybrid search

Also called: hybrid retrieval, keyword plus semantic search

Combining keyword search and similarity search, so results match both exact terms, such as product codes, and overall meaning.

For example: A parts catalog uses hybrid search so 'XR-200 battery' finds the exact model number and also similar replacement batteries.
