Unparalleled ingest and search performance
Support your real-time search, recommendation, or AI agent workflows—vector embeddings inserted to SingleStore become immediately searchable, powered by out native vector support.
SingleStore combines competitive vector search performance with fast SQL analytics, joins and aggregations across petabytes of structured and semi-structured data to power intelligent applications.
Powerful hybrid search for your analytical and AI applications
Bring powerful search to your application with SingleStore's native vector and full-text search.
Combine the benefits of fine-grained control provided by full-text search with semantic vector search in one easy-to-use SQL interface.

Vector search
Native vector search support
Vector search typically involves a three-way trade-off between accuracy, performance and cost. With SingleStore, you get what you need, when you need it.
k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) algorithms
Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) algorithms
Dot product and Euclidean distance metrics
IVF-PQ for low index build time and small index size
HNSW for excellent recall and high dimensionality
Full-text search
Lightning-fast full-text search
SingleStore's full-text search is a robust search solution that leverages the Lucene library to deliver high-quality, fast search results across your data.
Native support for inverted indexes
Support for fuzzy search, wildcard search, proximity search, range search, and regex search
SingleStore full-text search is based on the active, open-source Lucene
Integrated full-text search directly with analytical queries, allowing you to combine search operations with aggregations and other SQL operations
