Open-source search engine Meilisearch launches vector search

Hello r/datascience,

I work at [Meilisearch](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch), an open-source search engine built in Rust. 🦀

We're exploring semantic search & are [launching vector search](https://blog.meilisearch.com/vector-search-announcement/). It works like this:

* Generate embeddings using third-party (like OpenAI or Hugging Face)
* Store your vector embeddings alongside documents in Meilisearch
* Query the database to retrieve your results

We've built a documentation chatbot prototype and seen users implementing vector search to offer "similar videos" recommendations.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading,
