I wish vector search as a thing would die, or return to the back seat and let traditional indexing things have the first shot.

"oh but vector search is great because it clusters similar concepts!"

Yeah you know what concepts are similar? Different names, different model numbers for things, things that are related to _but different from_ what I searched for.

If I search for "morgan", a result for "morton" is a bad result. If I search for "atari ste", a result for the atari falcon is bad.
