Vector Search in ArangoDB: Practical Insights and Hands-On Examples
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes
Vector search is gaining traction as a go-to tool for handling large, unstructured datasets like text, images, and audio. It works by comparing vector embeddings, numerical representations generated by machine learning models, to find items with similar properties. With the integration of Facebook’s FAISS library, ArangoDB brings scalable, high-performance vector search directly into its core, accessible via AQL (ArangoDB Query Language). Vector Search is now just another, fully-integrated data type/model in ArangoDB’s multi-model approach.
This guide will walk you through setting up vector search, combining it with graph traversal for advanced use cases, and using tools like LangChain to power natural language queries that integrate Vector Search and GraphRAG.

Introduction
Graph databases continue to gain momentum, thanks to their knack for handling intricate relationships and context. Developers and tech leaders are seeing the potential of pairing them with the creative strength of large language models (LLMs). This combination is opening the door to more precise, context-aware answers to natural language prompts. That’s where RAG comes in—it pulls in useful information, whether from raw text (VectorRAG) or a structured knowledge graph (GraphRAG), and feeds it into the LLM. The result? Smarter, more relevant responses that are grounded in actual data.
