I think it'd be great to update the website, etc. to better highlight our support for vector search!
The first (and hopefully easiest?) step in this direction would be to update the "blurb" describing Solr that appears on the website, in release announcements, Dockerhub etc. There's actually already a ticket for this (SOLR-16295) that had some great discussion and consensus - it just didn't get quite over the line for whatever reason. It shouldn't be too hard to add "vector search" to the largely agreed-upon text from that ticket? If no one objects I'll post a revised blurb on that ticket, and we can start pushing it out in PRs if it gets the general thumbs up on that ticket... Longer term we could do something more involved, such as adding a vector search "tile" similar to the "Docker" and "Kubernetes" widgets on solr.apache.org. But I imagine it'd be tougher to do that to coincide with 9.7?
