Very nice diagrams, they make the article really easy to follow! This really drives the point home that vector search isn't only a qantitative (as in faster), but a qualitative evolutionary step.<p>Makes one wonder what other use cases are lurking that would need just another small modification and haven't even been thought of yet because they used to be impossible to implement.
The shift to vector search approaches over exact text searches has, for me at least, made googling harder.<p>If I'm searching for something which has words which have a more common meaning than the context I care about - then exact matching ( of my carefully crafted search term ) performs much better than vector search.<p>Not every query is looking for the average result.
