Eugene Yan's article explores three primary methods for matching search queries to documents: lexical, graph, and embedding-based approaches. Lexical methods involve direct query string manipulation like normalization, spell checking, and expansion/relaxation. Graph-based techniques leverage knowledge graphs for deeper query understanding and expansion. Embedding-based methods utilize learned representations to achieve similar goals. The post details preprocessing steps, query expansion strategies, and how these techniques are applied in real-world systems like DoorDash's. AI
