 Depending on your use case, you can choose multiple [search approaches](search-approaches.md), for example full-text and semantic search.
 Each approach affects your options for storing and querying your data.
 
 If you're unsure which approaches match your goals, you can try them out with sample data. For example, [](/solutions/search/get-started/semantic-search.md).

 If your goals include vector or semantic AI-powered search, create vectorized data with built-in and third-party natural language processing (NLP) models and store it in an {{es}} vector database.
 The approach that requires the least configuration involves adding `semantic_text` fields when ingesting your data.

 Your next steps will be to choose a method to write queries and interact with {{es}}.
 You can pick a programming language [client](/reference/elasticsearch-clients/index.md) that matches your application and choose which [query languages](/solutions/search/querying-for-search.md) you will use to express your search logic.
 Each decision builds on the previous ones, offering flexibility to mix and match approaches based on your needs.
