| After reindexing the data into the `semantic-embeddings` index, you can perform hybrid search to combine semantic and lexical search results. Choose between [retrievers](retrievers-overview.md) or [{{esql}}](elasticsearch://reference/query-languages/esql.md) syntax to execute the query. | ||

| The simplest way to use NLP models in the {{stack}} is through the [`semantic_text` workflow](semantic-search/semantic-search-semantic-text.md). We recommend using this approach because it abstracts away a lot of manual work. All you need to do is create an index mapping to start ingesting, embedding, and querying data. There is no need to define model-related settings and parameters, or to create {{infer}} ingest pipelines. | ||
