Organizations often struggle to create cohesive, searchable repositories that span file types, document formats, and both structured and unstructured content. OpenSearch simplifies this by unifying documents from across formats and platforms into one seamless search experience.
With a single interface, users can quickly find what they need, boosting productivity and enabling your organization to scale its document repositories with confidence.
Advanced search methods tailored to your data and use case
Vector search
Use AI to convert documents into vector embeddings, powering semantic search that finds results by meaning rather than keywords.
Multimodal search
Extend vector search beyond text to include audio and other data types using models trained in a shared multimodal embedding space.
Hybrid search
Blend the strengths of keyword and vector search by combining their relevance scores to deliver more precise and meaningful document search results.
RAG and agentic search
Retrieve relevant documents to ground LLM responses and enable conversational, multi-turn search with intelligent agents.
