sparse vector algorithms support ?

[muzhi1991]

When I looked at the document, I discovered hybrid search. When I looked at this feature in other vector databases, I found that it includes dense and sparse indexes. Sparse indexes can use techniques such as SPLADE to improve the effect of semantic similarity.
May I ask if this library supports similar algorithms, or is there any plan to support it?
Thank you for your great work！

Hey @muzhi1991 👋

The current version of the Hybrid Search of Meilisearch doesn't use sparse vectors.

First, because we didn't worked on it and second because it is a technic mostly used to do full text search and Meilisearch is already one of the most proficient keyword search engine on the market.

We will evaluate the need of sparse vectors in the future.

Thank you for your reply. Full text search is great. For the hybrid search feature, sparse vectors can make it more customized.
