What is concept search?

What's this blog post about?

The shift from "matching" to "understanding" in search engines is being driven by AI technology that represents text mathematically for conceptual understanding. Concept search, based on vectors, measures the closeness of relationships between texts and can be more accurate than keyword-based search. Hybrid retrieval combines both keyword and concept-based search to improve results. Algolia's new AI engine offers a scalable hybrid solution that is faster and more accurate than keywords-only search.
