EF Core 11 now translates the new .NET 11
FullJoinLINQ operator, so the EF Core 11 release notes should cover the feature and the SQL Server hybrid search guidance can use it instead of documenting a workaround.This updates the EF Core 11 whats-new page with a
FullJoinexample and adds a SQL Server hybrid search subsection under full-text search improvements. It also updates the SQL Server vector search hybrid search example to useFullJoin, including null-aware scoring for results that appear on only one side of the search.Validation:
