  Great to see another neural search (better known as vector search) option, especially with an end-to-end pipeline. There were 3 good discussions on vector search about a month ago:

  If you're confused (like me) and don't know what "neural search" is, here's an explainer https://medium.com/jina-ai/what-is-jina-and-neural-search-7a... (scroll down a bit)

  How big is a medium sized corpus? 10m documents?
