Congratulation on the launch of the product 🎊, the demo is absolutely amazing. I love how thoughtful the team is in allowing user to define their own text temple for the embedding.
I have several questions:
Is there any plan to give the query a template too?
AFAIK, the maximum number of query words is 10 (link). Is this still enforced for AI search?
Would you mind sharing some tricks on how the team achieved search-as-you-type performance even with AI search?
I am looking forward to your response 🙌
@topg Thanks, Vu! Indeed, it has been a wonderful addition to the product, and the idea comes from our open-source community!
To answer your questions:
1. Yes, it's in the plan to implement several workarounds for this, such as being able to provide context to a search query that will help personalize the search responses. However, I would be interested in getting more information about your expectations because I'm not sure I fully understand what a template would do in search.
2. Indeed, there is a limit on the full-text search, but no limits on the semantic search.
3. It's absolutely not a secret, and this will become even better in the future. To have the minimum latency on semantic search, the goal is to remove the network by running the model locally. It works perfectly fine as the searches have only a few words/tokens; with most of the models, it takes 1-5 ms max.
@quentin_dq Thanks for the detailed answer, Quentin 🙌
As per the first question. I was assuming the AI search query is still reatrained by the number of token like tradational search (2nd question) which made me thinking about away to include more context in my query.
Rust-based search sounds powerful! 😄
@shenjun Rust is the best language for building a search engine. It is secure, stable, and performant. 🦀🔥
