 ## Indexing
 
-By default, pgvector performs exact nearest neighbor search, which provides perfect recall. If this is too slow for your application, you can add an index to use approximate nearest neighbor search. Unlike typical indexes which only affect performance, you will see different results (lower recall) for queries after adding an approximate index.

 Two keys to achieving good recall are:
