What does it mean that insertion is only supported for a few of the indexes? Also will this allow hybrid search for the backends that support it?


Some backends/algorithms don't natively support dynamic inserts, and require you to rebuild your index when you want to add vectors to it (Annoy and Pynndescent are the only backends that don't support it).

Hybrid search is a really cool idea though; it's not something we support at the moment, but definitely something we could investigate and add as an upcoming feature, thanks for the suggestion!
