<Note>
  Hybrid search uses [vector search](/reference/vector/overview), a beta feature
  available in versions `0.25.0` and above.
</Note>

Use these pages when you need the exact SQL shape for hybrid ranking in
ParadeDB. For the mental model, see [How Hybrid Search Works](/concepts/hybrid/overview).
