 ```sql
 SELECT * FROM items WHERE category_id = 123 ORDER BY embedding <-> '[3,1,2]' LIMIT 5;
 ```
 
-Create an index on one [or more](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-multicolumn.html) of the `WHERE` columns for exact search
+A good place to start is creating an index on the filter column. This can provide fast, exact nearest neighbor search in many cases. Postgres has a number of [index types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-types.html) for this: B-tree (default), hash, GiST, SP-GiST, GIN, and BRIN.
 
 ```sql
 CREATE INDEX ON items (category_id);
 ```
 
-Or a composite IVFFlat index for approximate search (added in 0.8.0)
+For multiple columns, consider a [multicolumn index](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-multicolumn.html).
 
 ```sql
-CREATE INDEX ON items USING ivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops, category_id) WITH (lists = 100);
+CREATE INDEX ON items (location_id, category_id);
 ```
 
-Or a [partial index](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-partial.html) on the vector column for approximate search
+Exact indexes work well for conditions that match a low percentage of rows. Otherwise, [approximate indexes](#indexing) can work better.
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops);
+```
+
+With approximate indexes, filtering is applied *after* the index is scanned. If a condition matches 10% of rows, with HNSW and the default `hnsw.ef_search` of 40, only 4 rows will match on average. For more rows, increase `hnsw.ef_search`.
+
+```sql
+SET hnsw.ef_search = 200;
+```
+
+Starting with 0.8.0, you can enable [iterative index scans](#iterative-index-scans), which will automatically scan more of the index when needed.
+
+```sql
+SET hnsw.iterative_scan = strict_order;
+```
+
+If filtering by only a few distinct values, consider [partial indexing](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-partial.html).
 
 ```sql
 CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops) WHERE (category_id = 123);
 ```
 
-Use [partitioning](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html) for approximate search on many different values of the `WHERE` columns
+If filtering by many different values, consider [partitioning](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html).
 
 ```sql
 CREATE TABLE items (embedding vector(3), category_id int) PARTITION BY LIST(category_id);
 ```
 
+## Iterative Index Scans
+
+*Added in 0.8.0*
+
+With approximate indexes, queries with filtering can return less results since filtering is applied *after* the index is scanned. Starting with 0.8.0, you can enable iterative index scans, which will automatically scan more of the index until enough results are found (or it reaches `hnsw.max_scan_tuples` or `ivfflat.max_probes`).
+
+Iterative scans can use strict or relaxed ordering.
+
+Strict ensures results are in the exact order by distance
+
+```sql
+SET hnsw.iterative_scan = strict_order;
+```
+
+Relaxed allows results to be slightly out of order by distance, but provides better recall
+
+```sql
+SET hnsw.iterative_scan = relaxed_order;
+# or
+SET ivfflat.iterative_scan = relaxed_order;
+```
+
+With relaxed ordering, you can use a [materialized CTE](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-with.html#QUERIES-WITH-CTE-MATERIALIZATION) to get strict ordering
+
+```sql
+WITH relaxed_results AS MATERIALIZED (
+    SELECT id, embedding <-> '[1,2,3]' AS distance FROM items WHERE category_id = 123 ORDER BY distance LIMIT 5
+) SELECT * FROM relaxed_results ORDER BY distance;
+```
+
+For queries that filter by distance, use a materialized CTE and place the distance filter outside of it for best performance (due to the [current behavior](https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAOdR5yGUoMQ6j7M5hNUXrySzaqZVGf_Ne%2B8fwZMRKTFxU1nbJg%40mail.gmail.com) of the Postgres executor)
+
+```sql
+WITH nearest_results AS MATERIALIZED (
+    SELECT id, embedding <-> '[1,2,3]' AS distance FROM items ORDER BY distance LIMIT 5
+) SELECT * FROM nearest_results WHERE distance < 5 ORDER BY distance;
+```
+
+Note: Place any other filters inside the CTE
+
+### Iterative Scan Options
+
+Since scanning a large portion of an approximate index is expensive, there are options to control when a scan ends.
+
+#### HNSW
+
+Specify the max number of tuples to visit (20,000 by default)
+
+```sql
+SET hnsw.max_scan_tuples = 20000;
+```
+
+Note: This is approximate and does not affect the initial scan
+
+Specify the max amount of memory to use, as a multiple of `work_mem` (1 by default)
+
+```sql
+SET hnsw.scan_mem_multiplier = 2;
+```
+
+Note: Try increasing this if increasing `hnsw.max_scan_tuples` does not improve recall
+
+#### IVFFlat
+
+Specify the max number of probes
+
+```sql
+SET ivfflat.max_probes = 100;
+```
+
+Note: If this is lower than `ivfflat.probes`, `ivfflat.probes` will be used

 #### Why are there less results for a query after adding an HNSW index?
 
-Results are limited by the size of the dynamic candidate list (`hnsw.ef_search`). There may be even less results due to dead tuples or filtering conditions in the query. We recommend setting `hnsw.ef_search` to at least twice the `LIMIT` of the query. If you need more than 500 results, use an IVFFlat index instead.
