Boolean vs Semantic Search Redux

Boolean and AI search answer different questions. Boolean returns a countable set that’s literal, reproducible, and auditable, and it fails by silently missing people. Semantic search returns a ranked list of maybes, catches candidates you’d never think to ask for, and fails by confidently including the wrong ones. Neither fixes stale data. The right architecture uses both: deterministic filters first, then dual search, then re-ranking, with the query visible and logged. AI doesn’t replace Boolean. It writes it. The search box is dead. Long live logic.
