Qdrant 1.20 ships BM25 hybrid search without sparse vectors

qdrant_engine · x · 2026-10-22

Qdrant 1.20 lets you run hybrid search without the sparse pipeline: enable BM25 scoring directly on a full-text index over payload text and combine it with vector queries in a single request, no embeddings required. The release also adds a code tokenizer for better code search, faster nested filters, and turbo16/turbo8 improvements — a practical update for RAG and search builders.
