I would not use Elastic for vector search due to its architectural limitations and poor performance when conducting vector search. https://zilliz.com/benchmark


I should’ve said that we were already using it for actual search where embeddings similarity is just one component of the overall score. For pure vector stuff a dedicated solution will be faster.


What about Solr?
