Oh, no need to wait for LLMs. Apache Solr should be really good at it. We used it at a company I was working at to build the most kickass search into our platform, that would actually find the stuff you were looking for...and that was back in 2018 :D

ayy, that's nice. LLMs are truely overkill just for semantic search though, didnt know there are other ways to achieve this. but we need intelligence too right. (somewhat)

Don't get me wrong though... throwing an LLM at it would be a lot easier and faster. Just a mind boggling use of resources for a task that could probably be done more efficiently :D

Setting this up with Apache Solr and a suitable search frontend runs a high risk of becoming an abandoned side project itself^^

Yeah LLM seems like the go to solution. And the best one. And talking about resources, we can use barely smart models which can generate coherent sentences, be it 0.5b-3b models offloaded to CPU inference only.

Yes, your own intelligence that you integrate into the structure of your database and queries ;)
