And then you can click on ladder as it auto populates for you.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

It takes it to a page and then it'll show you a bunch of ladders.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

This has been the market.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

These kind of like, you know, retail giants have traditionally served their search via elastic search, via solar, via open search, what have you.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

But where Quadrant comes is that we are not focused on the text layer of the search.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

We are instead focused on something that we call the semantic layer of the search.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And this is where maybe things get a bit deep.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

This is where things get relatively nascent.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

But there was this development in 2019, 2020 in the machine learning space where researchers were able to

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

transform text into numerical representation that preserved meaning.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

I'm going to stop there to see if Mike, if you have any questions on that.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

So, and this is where it starts getting into what the search engine was built for.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And this is where I'm going with my whole, you know, text having a numerical representation.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

So yeah,

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

The idea is that if you're just doing, say, keyword search, then that leaves out a lot of context, right?

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Like if I search for a bat on a generic website, let's say I search for bat on walmart.com, it might return...

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

you know, stuff to do with like Halloween because thinking bats like the animal, it might return baseball bats.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

It might return something else, right?
