You can now use the VECTOR_SEARCH function to combine a semantic search with a lexical (keyword) search. This is known as a hybrid search. For tables with autonomous embedding generation enabled, you can use HYBRID mode in the AI.SEARCH function to simplify your search syntax.

You can also extend a vector index to include keyword information to improve the speed of the lexical search portion of a hybrid search.
