Bista Text Semantic Search
Enhance Odoo's text search with semantic understanding for smarter, faster, and more relevant results.
Smarter Search for Odoo
This module introduces semantic search into Odoo, allowing the system to understand meaning and context rather than relying on plain keyword matching. The result is higher quality search output with minimal setup.
Key Features
Core capabilities built for daily Odoo usage.
Semantic Search
Searches by meaning and context, not exact text matches.
Custom Field Support
Enable semantic search by setting semantic_search=True.
Automatic Indexing
Keeps document representations in sync for fast queries.
Configuration Interface
Manage settings directly inside Odoo configuration.
Usage & Technical Implementation
Quick setup steps and how the engine works.
Usage
To enable semantic search on a text field, set the attribute below:
class MyModel(models.Model):
_name = 'my.model'
description = fields.Text(semantic_search=True)
When searching for records:
# Uses semantic search instead of simple text matching
records = self.env['my.model'].search([('description', 'ilike', 'search term')])
Technical Implementation
The module works by:
- Creating pickle files that store document representations of text fields.
- When a search runs on a field with semantic_search=True it:
-
- Uses stored document representations
- Applies semantic search algorithms to find relevant matches
- Ranks results using multiple scoring factors
- Returns matching record IDs
