In this session, we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of semantic search and its integration with OpenSearch in Drupal. We'll start by defining OpenSearch and examining its utilization within the Drupal framework. From there, we'll unravel the distinctions between keyword and semantic search, diving deep into the principles of embedding, the application of machine learning algorithms, and a KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors) approach. Finally, we'll unveil the concept of hybrid search, blending the best of both worlds. The session will culminate in a captivating live demo, showcasing practical implementation strategies.
