* There's a slight trade-off between search quality and latency. Z-score normalization offers a improvement in search relevance (2.08% increase in NDCG@10) at the cost of a marginal increase in latency (0.50% to 0.72% across different percentiles).

* The choice between Z-score and min-max normalization may depend on specific use cases, with Z-score potentially being preferred when even improvements in search relevance are valuable and the slight latency increase is acceptable.

These findings suggest that Z-score normalization could be a viable alternative to min-max normalization in hybrid search approaches, particularly in scenarios where optimizing search relevance is a priority and the system can tolerate minimal latency increases
