By combining both approaches, hybrid search improves retrieval accuracy and relevance. OpenSearch is commonly used as a search engine for: Log analysis Observability and monitoring One of the key features of OpenSearch is hybrid search, which combines: Vector search (dense retrieval) BM25-based search (spars
