In today’s data-rich world, information isn’t just text anymore. It’s images, videos, audio, and more. To truly understand and retrieve relevant information, search engines need to go beyond keywords and...

At KRUU, Europe’s leading photo booth rental provider, smooth logistics are critical to customer satisfaction. The company’s signature product, a rentable, shippable photo booth for weddings and special events, is...

Traditional lexical search, based on term frequency models like blend term frequency models (BM25), is widely used and effective for many search applications. However, lexical search techniques require significant investment...

The Approximation Framework is a performance optimization in OpenSearch that introduces early termination during BKD tree traversal. It enhances the efficiency of numeric range, sort, and match_all queries by collecting only the required number of documents. This framework delivers exact results with significantly reduced query latency.

Explore advanced semantic field features in OpenSearch, including text chunking, support for externally hosted and custom models, cross-cluster usage, and updating model references.
