 creation by providing the following parameters:

 with ~1M vectors should use 256 partitions. You can specify arbitrary number of partitions but powers of 2 is most conventional.
 A higher number leads to faster queries, but it makes index generation slower.

 ## How to connect to a database
 
-In local mode, LanceDB stores data in a directory on your local machine. To connect to a local database, you can use the following code:
+=== "Python"
-```python
+      ```python
-import lancedb
+      import lancedb
-uri = "~/.lancedb"
+      uri = "~/.lancedb"

+      
+      LanceDB will create the directory if it doesn't exist (including parent directories).
+
+      If you need a reminder of the uri, you can call `db.uri()`.
 
 ## How to create a table
 
-To create a table, you can use the following code:
+=== "Python"
-```python
+      ```python
-tbl = db.create_table("my_table",
+      tbl = db.create_table("my_table",

+                              {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
-```
+      ```
 
-Under the hood, LanceDB is converting the input data into an Apache Arrow table
+      If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default.
-and persisting it to disk in [Lance format](github.com/eto-ai/lance).
+      If you want to overwrite the table, you can pass in `mode="overwrite"`
+      to the `create_table` method.
 
-If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default.
+      You can also pass in a pandas DataFrame directly:

 ## How to open an existing table
 
 Once created, you can open a table using the following code:
-```python
-tbl = db.open_table("my_table")
-```
 
-If you forget the name of your table, you can always get a listing of all table names:
+=== "Python"
+      ```python
+      tbl = db.open_table("my_table")
+      ```
 
-```python
+      If you forget the name of your table, you can always get a listing of all table names:
-db.table_names()
+
-```
+      ```python
+      print(db.table_names())
+      ```
+
+=== "Javascript"
+      ```javascript
+      const tbl = await db.openTable("my_table");
+      ```
+
+      If you forget the name of your table, you can always get a listing of all table names:
+
+      ```javascript
+      console.log(db.tableNames());
+      ```
 
 ## How to add data to a table
 
 After a table has been created, you can always add more data to it using
 
-```python
+=== "Python"
-df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [1.3, 1.4], "item": "fizz", "price": 100.0},
+      ```python
-                   {"vector": [9.5, 56.2], "item": "buzz", "price": 200.0}])
+      df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [1.3, 1.4], "item": "fizz", "price": 100.0},
-tbl.add(df)
+                        {"vector": [9.5, 56.2], "item": "buzz", "price": 200.0}])
-```
+      tbl.add(df)
+      ```
+
+=== "Javascript"
+      ```javascript
+      await tbl.add([vector: [1.3, 1.4], item: "fizz", price: 100.0},
+              {vector: [9.5, 56.2], item: "buzz", price: 200.0}])
+      ```
 
 ## How to search for (approximate) nearest neighbors
 
 Once you've embedded the query, you can find its nearest neighbors using the following code:
 
-```python
+=== "Python"
-tbl.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
+      ```python
-```
+      tbl.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
+      ```
 
-This returns a pandas DataFrame with the results.
+      This returns a pandas DataFrame with the results.

+# Serverless QA Bot with Modal and LangChain
+
+## use LanceDB's LangChain integration with Modal to run a serverless app
+
+<img id="splash" width="400" alt="modal" src="https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/assets/917119/7d80a40f-60d7-48a6-972f-dab05000eccf">
+
+We're going to build a QA bot for your documentation using LanceDB's LangChain integration and use Modal for deployment.
+
+Modal is an end-to-end compute platform for model inference, batch jobs, task queues, web apps and more. It's a great way to deploy your LanceDB models and apps.
+
+To get started, ensure that you have created an account and logged into [Modal](https://modal.com/). To follow along, the full source code is available on Github [here](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/blob/main/docs/src/examples/modal_langchain.py).
+
+### Setting up Modal
+
+We'll start by specifying our dependencies and creating a new Modal `Stub`:
+
+```python
+lancedb_image = Image.debian_slim().pip_install(
+    "lancedb",
+    "langchain",
+    "openai",
+    "pandas",
+    "tiktoken",
+    "unstructured",
+    "tabulate"
+)
+
+stub = Stub(
+    name="example-langchain-lancedb",
+    image=lancedb_image,
+    secrets=[Secret.from_name("my-openai-secret")],
+)
+```
+
+We're using Modal's Secrets injection to secure our OpenAI key. To set your own, you can access the Modal UI and enter your key.
+
+### Setting up caches for LanceDB and LangChain
+
+Next, we can setup some globals to cache our LanceDB database, as well as our LangChain docsource:
+
+```python
+docsearch = None
+docs_path = Path("docs.pkl")
+db_path = Path("lancedb")
+```
+
+### Downloading our dataset
+
+We're going use a pregenerated dataset, which stores HTML files of the Pandas 2.0 documentation. 
+You could switch this out for your own dataset.
+
+```python
+def download_docs():
+    pandas_docs = requests.get("https://eto-public.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/datasets/pandas_docs/pandas.documentation.zip")
+    with open(Path("pandas.documentation.zip"), "wb") as f:
+        f.write(pandas_docs.content)
+
+    file = zipfile.ZipFile(Path("pandas.documentation.zip"))
+    file.extractall(path=Path("pandas_docs"))
+```
+
+### Pre-processing the dataset and generating metadata
+
+Once we've downloaded it, we want to parse and pre-process them using LangChain, and then vectorize them and store it in LanceDB.
+Let's first create a function that uses LangChains `UnstructuredHTMLLoader` to parse them.
+We can then add our own metadata to it and store it alongside the data, we'll later be able to use this for filtering metadata.
+
+```python
+def store_docs():
+    docs = []
+
+    if not docs_path.exists():
+        for p in Path("pandas_docs/pandas.documentation").rglob("*.html"):
+            if p.is_dir():
+                continue
+            loader = UnstructuredHTMLLoader(p)
+            raw_document = loader.load()
+
+            m = {}
+            m["title"] = get_document_title(raw_document[0])
+            m["version"] = "2.0rc0"
+            raw_document[0].metadata = raw_document[0].metadata | m
+            raw_document[0].metadata["source"] = str(raw_document[0].metadata["source"])
+            docs = docs + raw_document
+
+        with docs_path.open("wb") as fh:
+            pickle.dump(docs, fh)
+    else:
+        with docs_path.open("rb") as fh:
+            docs = pickle.load(fh)
+
+    return docs
+```
+
+### Simple LangChain chain for a QA bot
+
+Now we can create a simple LangChain chain for our QA bot. We'll use the `RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter` to split our documents into chunks, and then use the `OpenAIEmbeddings` to vectorize them.
+
+Lastly, we'll create a LanceDB table and store the vectorized documents in it, then create a `RetrievalQA` model from the chain and return it.
+
+```python
+def qanda_langchain(query):
+    download_docs()
+    docs = store_docs()
+
+    text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
+        chunk_size=1000,
+        chunk_overlap=200,
+    )
+    documents = text_splitter.split_documents(docs)
+    embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
+
+    db = lancedb.connect(db_path) 
+    table = db.create_table("pandas_docs", data=[
+        {"vector": embeddings.embed_query("Hello World"), "text": "Hello World", "id": "1"}
+    ], mode="overwrite")
+    docsearch = LanceDB.from_documents(documents, embeddings, connection=table)
+    qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
+    return qa.run(query)
+```
+
+### Creating our Modal entry points
+
+Now we can create our Modal entry points for our CLI and web endpoint:
+
+```python
+@stub.function()
+@web_endpoint(method="GET")
+def web(query: str):
+    answer = qanda_langchain(query)
+    return {
+        "answer": answer,
+    }
+    
+@stub.function()
+def cli(query: str):
+    answer = qanda_langchain(query)
+    print(answer)
+```
+
+# Testing it out!
+
+Testing the CLI:
+
+```bash
+modal run modal_langchain.py --query "What are the major differences in pandas 2.0?"
+```
+
+Testing the web endpoint:
+
+```bash
+modal serve modal_langchain.py
+```
+
+In the CLI, Modal will provide you a web endpoint. Copy this endpoint URI for the next step.
+Once this is served, then we can hit it with `curl`. 
+
+Note, the first time this runs, it will take a few minutes to download the dataset and vectorize it.
+An actual production example would pre-cache/load the dataset and vectorized documents prior
+
+```bash
+curl --get --data-urlencode "query=What are the major differences in pandas 2.0?" https://your-modal-endpoint-app.modal.run
+
+{"answer":" The major differences in pandas 2.0 include the ability to use any numpy numeric dtype in a Index, installing optional dependencies with pip extras, and enhancements, bug fixes, and performance improvements."}
+```

+# Vector Search
+
+`Vector Search` finds the nearest vectors from the database.
+In a recommendation system or search engine, you can find similar products from
+the one you searched.
+In LLM and other AI applications,
+each data point can be [presented by the embeddings generated from some models](embedding.md),
+it returns the most relevant features.
+
+A search in high-dimensional vector space, is to find `K-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN)` of the query vector.
+
+## Metric
+
+In LanceDB, a `Metric` is the way to describe the distance between a pair of vectors.
+Currently, we support the following metrics:
+
+| Metric      | Description                          |
+| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `L2`        | [Euclidean / L2 distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance) |
+| `Cosine`    | [Cosine Similarity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity)|
+
+
+## Search
+
+### Flat Search
+
+
+If there is no [vector index is created](ann_indexes.md), LanceDB will just brute-force scan
+the vector column and compute the distance.
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    import lancedb
+    db = lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb")
+
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_vectors")
+
+    df = tbl.search(np.random.random((768)))
+        .limit(10)
+        .to_df()
+    ```
+
+=== "JavaScript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    const vectordb = require('vectordb')
+    const db = await vectordb.connect('data/sample-lancedb')
+
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_vectors")
+
+    const results = await tbl.search(Array(768))
+        .limit(20)
+        .execute()
+    ```
+
+By default, `l2` will be used as `Metric` type. You can customize the metric type
+as well.
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    df = tbl.search(np.random.random((768)))
+        .metric("cosine")
+        .limit(10)
+        .to_df()
+    ```
+
+=== "JavaScript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    const vectordb = require('vectordb')
+    const db = await vectordb.connect('data/sample-lancedb')
+
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_vectors")
+
+    const results = await tbl.search(Array(768))
+        .metric("cosine")
+        .limit(20)
+        .execute()
+    ```
+
+### Search with Vector Index.
+
+See [ANN Index](ann_indexes.md) for more details.
