(This is a follow up of Part 2 https://www.wpsolr.com/comparing-classic-search-vector-search-and-hybrid-search-is-it-even-possible-part-2/)
An incredible and understated effect of AI search is typo tolerance.
LLM are very strong in “understanding” the meaning of a sentence, hence being resilient to typo errors.
Here are two live examples with 2 typos in the same sentence (you can see them side by side in the screenshot of this post):
– Plain classic search without any tuning:

– Vector search with Weaviate OpenAI embeddings:

Not only the vector search fixes the typo error, but also returns great results.
