Atlas Vector Search
Have you ever tried searching for something when you only had a vague description rather than exact keywords? If you’ve been working with Atlas full-text search, you’re already familiar with its powerful capability to match and rank documents based on words and phrases. But what about searching for the meaning behind those words?
From keywords to meaning
While Atlas full-text search excels at matching keywords and phrases (lexical search), Atlas Vector Search takes your search capabilities to the next level by understanding the meaning of your query (semantic search).
Think of the difference this way:
- Full-text search: Finds documents containing specific keywords, such as
database
,scalable
, andcloud
- Vector search: Understands the meaning and context of a search query, such as
I need a reliable database solution that grows with my business
, and can find relevant documents even without matching exact keywords
