## Key features

* **Hybrid search slider**: Move from 0 (full-text search) to 100 (semantic search) to find the perfect balance. The middle ground combines both approaches for optimal relevancy.
* **Recommendation API**: Select a movie to see similar titles powered by the similar documents endpoint. Recommendations surface movies in the same category or with similar themes.
* **Multi-lingual semantic search**: Semantic search works across languages. Searching "Le seigneur des anneaux" finds "The Lord of the Rings" without manual translation.
* **Automatic synonym handling**: Queries like "last tldr movie" find "The Lord of the Rings" movies, with the semantic engine understanding intent beyond exact keywords.
* **Custom ranking rules**: Recent movies and highly rated titles are promoted in results, blending relevancy with freshness and popularity.
* **Performance**: Sub-50ms response times, even with hybrid search combining full-text and vector retrieval.
