preface

Thanks for purchasing AI-Powered Search! This book will teach you the knowledge and skills you need to deliver highly intelligent search applications that can automatically learn from every content update and user interaction, delivering continuously more relevant search results.

There is no better time than now to learn how to implement AI-powered search. With the rise of generative AI, techniques like retrieval augmented generation (RAG) have arisen as the de facto way to ground AI systems with up-to-date and reliable data from which to drive responses. Yet the “R” in RAG is often the least-well-understood aspect of building such systems. This book provides a deep dive into how to do AI-powered information retrieval well, whether you’re using it to power an AI system, building a traditional search application, or creating a novel new application requiring intelligent ranking and matching.
