Hello, we have setup Elsor on our index and now want to include those vector fields as users use our search-ui.

We use search-ui with @elastic/search-ui-app-search-connector.

Ideally results would be a combination of keyword and Vector KNN.

The documentation for vector searching with search-ui is sparse, confusing, or non-existent. Any help with examples would be great.

Hi @Adam_Patarino ,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, App Search does not currently support Vector Search - either KNN or expanded\_text.

What you could look to use instead is the [Search Application Client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-application-client.html) which is a React library similar to Search UI, but geared towards usage with [Elastic Search Applications](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-application-overview.html). Check out this example of how to use RRF to combine keyword search with semantic search: [Search Applications search API and templates | Elasticsearch Guide [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-application-api.html#search-application-api-rrf-template)
