Everyone I talk to who is building some vector db based thing sooner or later realizes they also care about the features of a full-text search engine.
They care about filtering, they care to some degree about direct lexical matches, they care about paging, getting groups / facet counts, etc.
Vectors, IMO, are just one feature that a regular search engine should have. IMO currently Vespa does the best job of this, though lately it seems Lucene (Elasticsearch and Opensearch) are really working hard to compete
