Vector search translates the fuzzy concept of "meaning similarity" into a geometric operation: find the K nearest embeddings to a query embedding. ANN algorithms like HNSW, IVF, and DiskANN each make different trade-offs between recall, latency, memory, and index build time. Choosing the right one for your data scale and freshness requirements is a core engineering decision.
