AI Search & GEO / AEO

하이브리드 검색

Hybrid Search combines exact-word retrieval with semantic vector retrieval so that each compensates for the other’s weaknesses. Keyword search is effective for exact product codes and proper names, while vector search better handles meaning-based requests such as “good-value laptops.” Practical implementations commonly combine scores through weighted sums or merge rankings using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).

Business applications and impact#

Combines lexical precision with semantic understanding to reduce missed results and improve accuracy.

Implementation guidance and considerations#

Tune the weighting, often expressed as alpha, between lexical and vector scores, and consider RRF.
