  * HybridQuery combines text and vector search in Redis using aggregation.

  * <p>It allows you to perform a hybrid search using both text and vector similarity. It scores
- * documents based on a weighted combination of text and vector similarity.
+ * documents based on a weighted combination of text and vector similarity using the formula:

+ * <pre>
+ * hybrid_score = (1 - alpha) * text_score + alpha * vector_similarity
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>Where {@code text_score} is the BM25 score from the text search and {@code vector_similarity}
+ * is the normalized cosine similarity from the vector search.

+ * <p><strong>Redis Version Requirements:</strong> This query uses the ADDSCORES option in
