A Tale of Paper and Straw

  Before we can continue with a formal discussion of the implementation of hybrid-search in Haystack, it would be advantageous to understand exactly why hybrid-search is an appropriate method for searching through documents. This chapter will create a model for documents based on state. By analyzing the structure of this model, and the type of queries a user may invoke against it, a data model for Haystack will be developed. We will then show how to index this data structure into a hybrid-search system.
