+<hr />
+
+LanceDB is an open-source database for vector-search built with persistent storage, which greatly simplifies retrieval, filtering and management of embeddings.
+
+The key features of LanceDB include:
+
+* Production-scale vector search with no servers to manage.
+
+* Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multi-modal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
+
+* Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.
+
+* Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.
+
+* Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure.
+
+* GPU support in building vector index(*).
+
+* Ecosystem integrations with [LangChain 🦜️🔗](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/vectorstores/lancedb/), [LlamaIndex 🦙](https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/vector_stores/LanceDBIndexDemo.html), Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
+
+LanceDB's core is written in Rust 🦀 and is built using <a href="https://github.com/lancedb/lance">Lance</a>, an open-source columnar format designed for performant ML workloads.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+**Javascript**
+```shell
+npm install @lancedb/lancedb
+```
+
+```javascript
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+
+const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
+const table = await db.createTable("vectors", [
+	{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 0.2], item: "foo", price: 10 },
+	{ id: 2, vector: [1.1, 1.2], item: "bar", price: 50 },
+], {mode: 'overwrite'});
+
+
+const query = table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(2);
+const results = await query.toArray();
+
+// You can also search for rows by specific criteria without involving a vector search.
+const rowsByCriteria = await table.query().where("price >= 10").toArray();
+```
+
+**Python**
+```shell
+pip install lancedb
+```
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+uri = "data/sample-lancedb"
+db = lancedb.connect(uri)
+table = db.create_table("my_table",
+                         data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+                               {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
+result = table.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_pandas()
+```

-
-### Installation
-```bash
-pnpm install genkitx-lancedb
-```
-
-### Usage
-
-Adding LanceDB plugin to your genkit instance.
-
-```ts
-import { lancedbIndexerRef, lancedb, lancedbRetrieverRef, WriteMode } from 'genkitx-lancedb';
-import { textEmbedding004, vertexAI } from '@genkit-ai/vertexai';
-import { gemini } from '@genkit-ai/vertexai';
-import { z, genkit } from 'genkit';
-import { Document } from 'genkit/retriever';
-import { chunk } from 'llm-chunk';
-import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';
-import path from 'path';
-import pdf from 'pdf-parse/lib/pdf-parse';
-
-const ai = genkit({
-  plugins: [
-    // vertexAI provides the textEmbedding004 embedder
-    vertexAI(),
-
-    // the local vector store requires an embedder to translate from text to vector
-    lancedb([
-      {
-        dbUri: '.db', // optional lancedb uri, default to .db
-        tableName: 'table', // optional table name, default to table
-        embedder: textEmbedding004,
-      },
-    ]),
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-You can run this app with the following command:
-```bash
-genkit start -- tsx --watch src/index.ts
-```
-
-This'll add LanceDB as a retriever and indexer to the genkit instance. You can see it in the GUI view

-# Apache Datafusion
-
-In Python, LanceDB tables can also be queried with [Apache Datafusion](https://datafusion.apache.org/), an extensible query engine written in Rust that uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format. This means you can write complex SQL queries to analyze your data in LanceDB.
-
-This integration is done via [Datafusion FFI](https://docs.rs/datafusion-ffi/latest/datafusion_ffi/), which provides a native integration between LanceDB and Datafusion.
-The Datafusion FFI allows to pass down column selections and basic filters to LanceDB, reducing the amount of scanned data when executing your query. Additionally, the integration allows streaming data from LanceDB tables which allows to do aggregation larger-than-memory.
-
-We can demonstrate this by first installing `datafusion` and `lancedb`.
-
-```shell
-pip install datafusion lancedb
-```
-
-We will re-use the dataset [created previously](./pandas_and_pyarrow.md):
-
-```python
-import lancedb
-
-from datafusion import SessionContext
-from lance import FFILanceTableProvider
-
-db = lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb")
-data = [
-    {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
-    {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}
-]
-lance_table = db.create_table("lance_table", data)
-
-ctx = SessionContext()
-
-ffi_lance_table = FFILanceTableProvider(
-    lance_table.to_lance(), with_row_id=True, with_row_addr=True
-)
-ctx.register_table_provider("ffi_lance_table", ffi_lance_table)
-```
-
-The `to_lance` method converts the LanceDB table to a `LanceDataset`, which is accessible to Datafusion through the Datafusion FFI integration layer.
-To query the resulting Lance dataset in Datafusion, you first need to register the dataset with Datafusion and then just reference it by the same name in your SQL query.
-
-```python
-ctx.table("ffi_lance_table")
-ctx.sql("SELECT * FROM ffi_lance_table")
-```

+# Getting Started with LanceDB: A Minimal Vector Search Tutorial
+
+Let's set up a LanceDB database, insert vector data, and perform a simple vector search. We'll use simple character classes like "knight" and "rogue" to illustrate semantic relevance.
+
+## 1. Install Dependencies
+
+Before starting, make sure you have the necessary packages:
+
+```bash
+pip install lancedb pandas numpy
+```
+
+## 2. Import Required Libraries
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+import pandas as pd
+import numpy as np
+```
+
+## 3. Connect to LanceDB
+
+You can use a local directory to store your database:
+
+```python
+db = lancedb.connect("./lancedb")
+```
+
+## 4. Create Sample Data
+
+Add sample text data and corresponding 4D vectors:
+
+```python
+data = pd.DataFrame([
+    {"id": "1", "vector": [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], "text": "knight"},
+    {"id": "2", "vector": [0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0], "text": "warrior"},
+    {"id": "3", "vector": [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0], "text": "rogue"},
+    {"id": "4", "vector": [0.0, 0.9, 0.1, 0.0], "text": "thief"},
+    {"id": "5", "vector": [0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0], "text": "ranger"},
+])
+```
+
+## 5. Create a Table in LanceDB
+
+```python
+table = db.create_table("rpg_classes", data=data, mode="overwrite")
+```
+
+Let's see how the table looks:
+```python
+print(data)
+```
+
+| id | vector | text |
+|----|--------|------|
+| 1 | [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | knight |
+| 2 | [0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0] | warrior |
+| 3 | [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0] | rogue |
+| 4 | [0.0, 0.9, 0.1, 0.0] | thief |
+| 5 | [0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0] | ranger |
+
+
+
+## 6. Perform a Vector Search
+
+Search for the most similar character classes to our query vector:
+
+```python
+# Query as if we are searching for "rogue"
+results = table.search([0.95, 0.05, 0.0, 0.0]).limit(3).to_df()
+print(results)
+```
+
+This will return the top 3 closest classes to the vector, effectively showing how LanceDB can be used for semantic search.
+
+|  id  |          vector         |   text   | _distance |
+|------|------------------------|----------|-----------|
+|  3   | [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0]  |  rogue   |   0.00   |
+|  4   | [0.0, 0.9, 0.1, 0.0]  | thief |   0.02   |
+|  5   | [0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0]  |  ranger  |   0.50   |
+
+Let's try searching for "knight"
+
+```python
+query_vector = [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
+results = table.search(query_vector).limit(3).to_pandas()
+print(results)
+```
+
+|  id  |          vector         |   text   | _distance |
+|------|------------------------|----------|-----------|
+|  1   | [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]  |  knight  |   0.00   |
+|  2   | [0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0]  | warrior  |   0.02   |
+|  5   | [0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0]  |  ranger  |   0.50   |
+
+## Next Steps
+
+That's it - you just conducted vector search!
+
