Vector Search
Vector search finds meaning-similar content, not just exact keyword matches.
Plain English
Vector search turns text into mathematical representations so the system can find content that means something similar even when the words are different.
Why it matters here
Operators may search for "bad finish" while the procedure says "surface roughness issue". Vector search helps those two connect.
Picture it like this
Use simple language and analogies before technical phrasing takes over.
Analogy
Find the closest meaning, not just the exact same word.
Like knowing that chatter, washboard finish, and vibration complaint may all point to related setup or tooling issues.
