About Typesense

Typesense moves from keyword search toward LLM-driven, relevance-tuned querying

Typesense's feature releases show a clear push beyond classic keyword search: 29.0 added LLM-powered natural-language query parsing, and 30.0 added MMR result diversification plus global, shareable synonyms and curation rules. The most recent activity (30.1, 30.2, 29.1) is bug-fix consolidation around numeric filters, highlighting, scoped API keys, and union-search race conditions.
