Our own Brian O'Grady (Head of Field Research and Solutions Architecture at Qdrant) joined the Stack Overflow Podcast to break down a question that trips up more teams than you'd expect: when do you actually need semantic search, and when is exact-match the right call? They dig into the real differences between traditional Lucene-powered text search and vector databases, where each one wins (logs and security analytics vs. user-facing discovery), and where Qdrant is headed with video embeddings and local-agent contexts. https://stackoverflow.blog/2026/05/05/wha t-un-exactly-do-you-mean-by-semantic-search/…
