# USearch
|
||
|
|
>[USearch](https://unum-cloud.github.io/usearch/) is a Smaller & Faster Single-File Vector Search Engine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>`USearch's` base functionality is identical to `FAISS`, and the interface should look
|
||
|
|
> familiar if you have ever investigated Approximate Nearest Neighbors search.
|
||
|
|
> `USearch` and `FAISS` both employ `HNSW` algorithm, but they differ significantly
|
||
|
|
> in their design principles. `USearch` is compact and broadly compatible with FAISS without
|
||
|
|
> sacrificing performance, with a primary focus on user-defined metrics and fewer dependencies.

```bash
|
||
|
|
pip install usearch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Vector Store
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See a [usage example](/docs/integrations/vectorstores/usearch).
|
||
|
|
|
||
