+= Neural Search
Review comment:
As the author of the documentation obviously I think "Neural Search" as
a headline is all right.
I think it's becoming accepted generally by the Information Retrieval
community and it's easily recognizable.
I don't have a strong opinion though and I am happy to revise the title if
the community prefers.
Let me explain some of my motivations:
1) it's becoming more and more adopted in the industry and in the academy to
label search aspects that use directly or byproducts of neural networks(vector
embeddings)
2) Dense Vector Search is not wrong per se, but my idea is to extend the
documentation in the future with additional neural-based techniques and
components, and I see them better documented and reachable if under the same
section.
Whenever the section becomes too big (hopefully) we can then split it across
many different pages?
3) I don't think the section must be fully comprehensive from the beginning,
I think it's all right there are aspects of Neural Search that are not
addressed right now. It's actually a good incentive for the community to
contribute, improve and extend the support in the future.
4) I agree with this headline we'll get some attention, but I see this is a
benefit, a lot of fresh attention to the Apache Solr project can bring more
curiosity in and more contributions. I don't think there's anywhere in the
documentation that hint at "false advertisement" and that can cause the feeling
of under-delivering a larger promise?
