Hi,

Since Dgraph now supports both semantic search (dense vector) and full-text search (sparse vector), the path to an hybrid search seems very well traced.

A simple method to merge results of the two search approaches is to use a reciprocal rank fusion (RRF).

Is there an eventual plan to support the hybrid search feature natively in Dgraph ?
