08/19/2023, 5:29 PMYou can do this, but then you will have to generate embeddings for the query term yourself and send those vectors with vector_query parameter and the keyword in the q parameter. Typesense will then do a hybrid search

08/19/2023, 5:33 PMI had tried multi search previously where the search keyword is embedded and then passed and another search is regular,
Already from v24 embedding column is populated with data. Will it work similarly ? Or I need to change the schema to enable auto embedding for better performance ?

In v0.24 we didn’t allow using q and vector_query together
