Learn how to build a scalable hybrid image search engine that serves over 10 million products by combining visual embeddings, textual signals, and knowledge-graph-enhanced metadata in this 45-minute conference talk from Haystack EU 2025. Discover the architectural decisions behind Adeo's (Leroy Merlin group) industrial-scale image search system that balances accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness for e-commerce applications where users show rather than describe what they want. Explore the hybrid architecture that combines image embeddings with LLM-based lexical search backed by a Knowledge Graph, and dive deep into vector quantization techniques including bf16, int8, int4, int2, and BBQ in Elasticsearch. Understand the practical trade-offs between latency, precision, and cost when implementing these quantization methods at scale, gaining insights from real-world experience in building merch-oriented search systems that capture user intent through visual queries.
