• Vector indexes only work on database 0, as with all search indexes in Redis.
• Vector sets offer a simpler alternative with no setup required. The VADD and VSIM commands are built into Redis, so you can use similarity search immediately, without enabling any modules. This is convenient for simple recommendation scenarios on a single set. The query engine is the better choice when you need filters, pagination, or multiple fields.
• Building an index over existing keys runs in the background. You can check progress with FT.INFO. Searches return partial results until indexing completes.
