Hybrid Search Implementation

Patterns for combining vector similarity and keyword-based search.

When to Use This Skill

Building RAG systems with improved recall
Combining semantic understanding with exact matching
Handling queries with specific terms (names, codes)
Improving search for domain-specific vocabulary
When pure vector search misses keyword matches

Core Concepts

1. Hybrid Search Architecture

Query → ┬─► Vector Search ──► Candidates ─┐
        │                                  │
        └─► Keyword Search ─► Candidates ─┴─► Fusion ─► Results

2. Fusion Methods

Method	Description	Best For
RRF	Reciprocal Rank Fusion	General purpose
Linear	Weighted sum of scores	Tunable balance
Cross-encoder	Rerank with neural model	Highest quality
Cascade	Filter then rerank	Efficiency
