Bista Text Semantic Search

Enhance Odoo's text search with semantic understanding for smarter, faster, and more relevant results.

Version 1.0
Overview

Semantic Understanding
Finds meaning, not just keywords.
Enhanced Performance
Faster and more accurate search outcomes.
Easy Integration
Simple field-level configuration.

Usage

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:

  1. Creating pickle files that store document representations of text fields.
  2. 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
