Hello,<p>At work I operate a search platform, which led me to learn about search engines in general and how they works.<p>The deeper I dive in the rabbit hole of information retrieval technologies, the wider it seems to me.<p>I want to proactively learn about it, which I plan to do with the following books:<p>- Relevant Search<p>- AI-Powered Search<p>Should these be enough to acquire a deep understanding of the domain ?<p>Do you have alternative or additional resources to suggest ?<p>Thanks!

I’ve found this page[0] to be a great starting point for traditional search.<p>Many of the patterns in traditional search can (and should!) be applied to “AI” search, which is really just indexing things in vector space.<p>tl;dr — What you put in is what you get out, there’s no silver bullet.<p>[0] <a href="https://project-a.github.io/on-site-search-design-patterns-for-e-commerce/" rel="nofollow">https://project-a.github.io/on-site-search-design-patterns-f...</a>
