FAQPage Schema
How do I store and query embeddings for a semantic search application?

To store and query embeddings for semantic search, you use a vector database to create collections, add documents, and retrieve results with metadata filtering. This approach supports RAG pipelines and document retrieval.

What is a vector database used for in AI memory and RAG pipelines?

A vector database is used in AI memory and RAG pipelines to manage and query high-volume embeddings alongside their metadata. It enables efficient semantic search and document retrieval for AI applications.

Can I filter document retrieval results by metadata in an embedding database?

Yes, you can filter document retrieval results by metadata in an embedding database. This allows for precise retrieval by narrowing down the queried embeddings based on specific metadata attributes.

Does this open-source vector database scale from notebooks to production clusters?

Yes, this open-source vector database scales from notebooks to production clusters. It provides a simple four-function API to create collections, add documents, query, and retrieve results efficiently across deployments.

Can I perform both vector and full-text search using a self-hosted embedding store?

Yes, you can perform both vector and full-text search using a self-hosted embedding store. It allows you to store embeddings and metadata efficiently while executing comprehensive search queries for AI applications.
