How to Use Vector Search

Find videos by what they show, not just what they say

Vector search is in private beta and available on Business plans.

Vector search finds videos based on what they contain visually, not just what's written in the metadata or spoken in the transcript. It's useful when the content you're looking for has no obvious keyword match.

How it differs from other search types

Transcript search matches exact words. If you search "Manchester City", you'll only find videos where someone said or typed those words.

Semantic search adds flexibility around meaning — "soccer" matches "football" — but still relies on text in the transcript, title, description, and tags.

Vector search goes further by understanding the visual content of the video itself. A search for "Manchester City" can surface clips of a team wearing blue shirts, players celebrating a goal, or an empty stadium — even if no text in the video ever mentions the team by name.

This makes vector search especially valuable for visual-heavy libraries like stock footage, product demos, event recordings, and training videos where important content often isn't narrated.

How to use it

Vector search is available on the same Search page. When enabled for your team, results automatically include visual matches alongside text and semantic matches.

No configuration is required. The visual index is built automatically as your videos are processed.
