OpenSearch Project

For many folks, today is Thanksgiving. One of the many things we're thankful for is the incredible OpenSearch Project community that we are privileged to partner with and be a part of. And in the spirit of showing gratitude, we're (re)launching the OpenSearch Awesome List on GitHub. It's a curated, open-source list of links and resources that fellow OpenSearch community members will find useful. https://lnkd.in/d9Y8TNE6 One of the recent additions is "The Ultimate Index of OpenSearchCon Talks" - an organized and categorized listing of the nearly 200 sessions from all of this year's OpenSearchCon events around the globe, making it MUCH easier for people to find the great sessions they're looking for. We invite all of you to check it out, give it a star, and add some links/resources of your own. Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating! 🎉 #OpenSearch #awesomelist #opensource #thanksgiving

🔍 OpenSearch Project says LLMs are rewriting the rules for search, observability, and the future of engineering work. At KubeCon NA 2025, project leaders described a pivotal shift: search and observability are no longer technical utilities; they’re becoming strategic AI layers driving business outcomes. Major themes OpenSearch surfaced: ✨ LLMs enabling semantic search + natural language data interaction ✨ Observability evolving into AI-driven anomaly detection + predictive RCa ✨ Cloud-native + AI transitions compressing from years → months ✨ CNCF’s multi-project ecosystem democratizing infra beyond hyperscalers As OpenSearch blends LLMs into search + observability, organizations face tough choices: Do they embed AI directly into infra layers, or keep LLMs separate for cost + governance reasons? The next 12–18 months will define what “AI-native search + observability” really looks like.

💡 Lexical search vs. semantic search: what’s the difference? Let’s take it back to the basics. Lexical search looks for exact words in your query — think of it as keyword matching. Semantic search, on the other hand, tries to understand meaning, context, and intent. Both have their place, and knowing when to use each is key to building smarter search experiences. ✨ Blog by 👉 Kassian Rosner Wren, OpenSearch Ambassador, who’s passionate about helping people understand and leverage modern search technologies https://hubs.la/Q03VNZC50 #OpenSearch #Search #SemanticSearch #LexicalSearch #BackToBasics #OpenSearchAmbassador
