From search to AI: How retrieval evolved

Search has always been about helping people find the right information at the right time. From libraries and databases to web search and AI systems, each generation of search has introduced a new way to retrieve and rank information. In partnership with the London Java Community, Samuel Agbede from Redis will take you on a practical journey from exact matching and Boolean search through TF-IDF, BM25, semantic search, vector embeddings, RAG and agentic retrieval. The session will connect the history of search to the systems developers are building today. You will see how Redis 8 and Redis Search support modern retrieval through full-text search, filters, vector similarity and hybrid queries—helping teams deliver fast, relevant search experiences and AI workflows.
