A Web Developers Guide to Hybrid Search

This tutorial demonstrates how to build a Next.js application powered by hybrid search in Weaviate. Hybrid search combines keyword (BM25) and vector search to leverage both exact term matching and semantic context. The tutorial covers the technology that powers hybrid search, how to use it in Weaviate, and how to adjust its parameters for better results. It also provides a step-by-step guide on setting up Weaviate Cloud, importing data, creating a Next.js backend, and developing a frontend for the application.
