Hi @chunker !!
Welcome to our community
Because near_text
is a purely vector search, you get a distance instead of a score.
With bm25 you get a score, and the same for hybrid
, where the vector distance and the bm25 score are fused.
Only for hybrid, it will populate the explain_score. It will show the distance and score that it got for the hybrid query and also the normalized numbers.
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks!
