Description
The documentation for a hybrid or pure semantic search references sending vector data, but there's no documentation on how to create that data with the configured embedders.
Surely this is being done internally. I think there would be some value to exposing a method to do that.
Also, when the search query has
"retrieveVectors" => true,
the vectors are returned for the results, but not for the query itself. It seems appropriate that it would.

Research direction
Start with the documentation for hybrid and pure semantic search, then trace the configured embedder behavior and the retrieveVectors query option. Confirm whether the requested embedder method and query-vector return behavior are documentation gaps or require product changes. Done means the supported process for creating vectors and the query-vector behavior are clearly documented.
