Adds the Enterprise reference page at `docs/web/enterprise/distributed-search.mdx`, following the same arrangement as Enterprise architecture. The page describes distributed search and the embedded execution model, with links to shared search guides. Enterprise architecture links to it, and the official sidebar lists it immediately after Architecture in the existing Deployment group. Adds stable anchors for the RaBitQ and `approx_mode` sections linked by the Enterprise guide. Companion: https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/8986 supplies the detailed Enterprise overlay at the same path. Merge this reference-page PR first so the overlay has an existing route to replace. Validation: - Combined-site assembly with both PR branches passed (309 files). - Mintlify build validation and link, anchor, and redirect checks passed.

LanceDB Enterprise distributes index execution and table-data reads across
|
|
plan executors. Embedded LanceDB executes searches in the application process.

|
|
|
|
Distributed search spreads index execution, table-data reads, and caching across
|
|
multiple serving machines in LanceDB Enterprise. Query nodes plan queries and
|
|
combine results. Plan executors cache index structures and table data and execute
|
|
the remote work. See [Enterprise architecture](/enterprise/architecture).
|
|
|
|
## Embedded search {#embedded-search}
|
|
|
|
LanceDB OSS runs inside your application process. It searches indexes and reads
|
|
table data using that process's resources, including its index cache. Reading a
|
|
table from object storage does not by itself distribute query execution across
|
|
machines.
|
|
|
|
## Search interfaces {#search-interfaces}
|
|
|
|
The shared search guides describe the query APIs and index settings:
|
|
|
|
- [Vector search](/search/vector-search) and [vector indexes](/indexing/vector-index).
|
|
- [Full-text search](/search/full-text-search) and [FTS indexes](/indexing/fts-index).
|
|
- [Filtering](/search/filtering) and [scalar indexes](/indexing/scalar-index).
|
|
- [Query plans](/search/explain) for inspecting execution and runtime measurements.
