+Vector Search Indexes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Vector Search indexes specify the behavior of an Atlas Vector Search, which allows
+you to query data based on its semantic meaning rather than only keyword matches.
+You can integrate vector search with full-text search queries and AI frameworks to
+support a range of use cases.
+
+To create a Vector Search index, assign the ``indexes`` option in your model's
+``Meta`` class to a ``VectorSearchIndex`` object. Pass the following arguments to the
+``VectorSearchIndex()`` constructor:
+
+- ``name``: *(Optional)* The name of your Vector Search index. If you do not
+  specify this argument, {+framework+} automatically generates an index name.
+- ``fields``: The fields you want to index.
+- ``similarities``: The :atlas:`similarity function </atlas-vector-search/vector-search-type/#std-label-avs-similarity-functions>`
+  to use. You can specify the ``"cosine"``, ``"dotProduct"``, or ``"euclidean"``
+  similarity function, as a single string value or a list of values that assigns
+  different functions to individual vector fields.
+
+The following example updates the ``Recipe`` model's ``Meta`` class to create
+a Vector Search index named ``"vector_search_idx"`` on the ``ratings`` and ``cook_time``
+fields:
