The Search Service uses either an inverted file index with scalar quantization, or a directly mapped index with exact vector comparisons, depending on the number of vectors in your data.

It's best to use *l2_norm* similarity when your embeddings contain information about the count or measure of specific things, and your embedding model uses the same similarity metric.
