Consider traditional databases which let you search for strings. Vector databases let you search the meaning.
For one client, someone could search for "videos about cats". With stemming and stop words, that becomes "cat" and the results might be lists of videos about house cats and maybe the unix "cat" command. Tigers, lions, cheetahs? Nope.
Vector database will return tigers/lions/cheetahs because it "knows" they are cats. A much smarter search. I've built that for a client.
