Vector relevance is a method used by AI search engines and large language models to measure how closely a piece of content matches the meaning and intent of a user’s query.

For example, if a user searches for “best engagement rings for a proposal,” an AI system can recognize that content about diamond engagement rings, proposal rings, and solitaire rings is relevant, even if it doesn’t use the exact same wording.
