Add View.create_index / create_scalar_index / create_fts_index / search as pass-throughs to open_table(name). A materialized view is a real Lance dataset; these let it be indexed and searched like any other table, closing the parity gap with Geneva (whose create_materialized_view returns a first-class Table). The server-side create_index handler records indexes declared on a view so they survive a full refresh (which overwrites the dataset, dropping its indices); that re-apply is wired in the sophon engine.

LanceDB Python SDK
A Python library for LanceDB.
Installation
pip install lancedb
Preview Releases
Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
