-**Vector search** is an information retrieval technique that overcomes the limitations of traditional keyword-based search. Instead of relying solely on lexical analysis and matching individual query terms, vector search uses algorithms for similarity and concept search. It represents documents and queries as vectors in a high-dimensional space called an embedding. By searching on vector representations of content, a vector query can find relevant matches, even if the exact terms of the query are not present in the index. Moreover, vector search can be applied to various types of content, including images and videos and translated text, not just same-language text.
