Summary

Follow-up to the FT.HYBRID feature (#37, shipped in v0.7.0): adds user-facing docs for hybrid_vector_search().

  • docs/user_guide/how_to_guides/vector-search.md: new Hybrid fusion (FT.HYBRID) section covering hybrid_vector_search(cosine_distance(...), fulltext(...), rrf()|linear()), the RRF/LINEAR fusion methods and their knobs (constant/window, alpha), text scorer, and vector-leg tuning (ef_runtime, vector_range). Requires Redis 8.4+ and redis-py >= 7.1.0.
  • Relabeled the existing filter then KNN section to pre-filter hybrid search and cross-linked the fusion section, so the two are clearly distinguished (text-as-filter vs. independently-ranked-and-fused).
  • README: capability list now lists "pre-filter hybrid search" and "hybrid fusion search (hybrid_vector_search(...) to FT.HYBRID)" separately.

Docs only, no code changes.

Jira: RAAE-1322

Document hybrid_vector_search() in the vector-search how-to (RRF and LINEAR
fusion, knobs, and vector-leg tuning), and relabel the existing filter-then-KNN
section as "pre-filter hybrid search" to distinguish it from true fusion. Update
the README capability list to list both.
