Description
The Dense Vector Search page in the Solr Ref Guide currently has a section titled
Usage in Re-Ranking Query. However, it only contains a single example of re-ranking with the KNN query parser which has an important caveat that this initiates a second pass full KNN query. While this is true, I think it may be confusing to readers as it's not the only supported option for re-ranking documents with vectors.This PR adds documentation for the more efficient re-ranking feature that rerank subsets of documents by direct vector comparisons with the vectorSimilarity Function, with some notes about motivations and tradeoffs.
