 "summary": "Use BM25 full text search and sparse vectors alongside dense vectors for better recall.",
 "who": "A search team whose semantic search misses exact names, codes and rare terms.",
 "problem": "Dense vectors alone can miss exact keyword matches users expect.",
 "outcome": "Search that combines BM25 or learned sparse embeddings with dense semantic results.",
 "steps": [
  "Connect to Milvus with `MilvusClient` using your server URI and token",
  "Follow the Full Text Search with Milvus tutorial to enable BM25",
  "Follow the Hybrid Search with Milvus tutorial to combine dense and sparse embeddings",
  "Compare results against dense-only search on real queries",
  "Turn on authentication, TLS and RBAC before exposing the server"
