While vectorstore implement a search algorithm to efficiently search over *all* the embedded documents to find the most similar ones, many also support filtering on metadata.

This allows structured filters to reduce the size of the similarity search space. These two concepts work well together:

Metadata filtering helps narrow down the search by applying specific conditions such as retrieving documents from a particular source or date range. These two concepts work well together:
