정보 검색의 정확성을 극대화하는 Hybrid Search는 2026년 현재 RAG 시스템의 핵심 기술이 되었습니다. 본 튜토리얼에서는 BM25 Keyword Search, Dense Vector Search, Rerank를 결합한 하이브리드 검색 아키텍처를 HolySheep AI를 통해 구현하는 방법을 상세히 다룹니다.

Hybrid Search란 무엇인가?
Hybrid Search는 세 가지 검색 패러다임을 결합하여 검색 품질을 혁신합니다:
- BM25 (Sparse Search): 키워드 기반 전통 검색. 정확한 용어 매칭에 강점
- Dense Vector (Semantic Search): 의미를 이해하는 임베딩 기반 검색. 동의어, 맥락 이해
- Rerank (Cross-Encoder): 초기 검색 결과를 정밀하게 재순위화

1. 환경 설정 및 임베딩 생성
저는 HolySheep AI의 통합 API를 통해 Embeddings 생성을 먼저 수행합니다. text-embedding-3-small 모델은 1536 차원 벡터를 생성하며, 비용은 $0.02/1M tokens로 매우 경제적입니다.
