alt Hacker NewsI know it's unrelated but does anyone knows a good paper comparing vector searches vs "normal" full text search? Sometimes I ask myself of the squeeze worth the juice

Not aware of a specific paper. This account on Bluesky focuses on RAG and general information retrieval

Compared in what? Server load, user experience?
“Normal search” is generally called bm25 in retrieval papers. Many, if not all, retrieval papers about modeling will use or list bm25 as a baseline. Hope this helps!
