SeMI Technologies released Weaviate v 1.17.0 with a new hybrid search, and an alpha setting to set how much search is pure dense/vector or pure sparse/inverted.
This is great for e-Commerce, as vector search can be a little bit too much “imaginative”. The hybrid search should help results stick to the products contents.
