"> [Google Vertex AI Vector Search](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/matching-engine/overview), formerly known as Vertex AI Matching Engine, provides the industry's leading high-scale low latency vector database. These vector databases are commonly referred to as vector similarity-matching or an approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) service.\n",
