  • Cross Search
  • We’ve been doing keyword exact match cross search of our collection for a long time.
  • 2022’s pLinkSuggest allows “search for a sentence by sentence”.
  • The advantage at this time was that by taking the “common string of ambiguous matches”, it became clear “why the sentence was suggested”.
  • Vector search alone is the same as mere recommendation
    • I don’t see why it matters.
  • ‘Are the hits relevant to the current theme?’ If so, in what ways? If so, in what ways?” You can go so far as to have them explain

  • As of September, we think this is really important.
  • The term “recommendation with context” was coined.
