A demo app built with TanStack Start shows the difference between keyword search and vector search on documentation content. The auto-embed index type is configured once on a content field, and MongoDB handles all embedding requests to Voyage AI on ingest. Vector search queries are simpler to implement than regex-based keyword search and are increasingly important for LLM-powered features like RAG and agentic memory. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
