Hybrid search algorithm combining results from multiple ranking systems by computing reciprocal ranks, commonly used to merge dense vector search with sparse keyword search for improved retrieval.

Search approach combining keyword-based (BM25) and semantic (vector) search for best of both worlds. Uses fusion techniques like RRF to merge results.

Method for combining ranked lists from multiple retrieval systems in hybrid search. Standard technique in RAG pipelines for fusing BM25 and dense vector results before reranking, creating diverse high-confidence candidate sets.
