Use named vectors with [vector similarity searches](/weaviate/search/similarity#named-vectors) (`near_text`, `near_object`, `near_vector`, `near_image`) and [hybrid search](/weaviate/search/hybrid#named-vectors).

Named vector collections support hybrid search, but only for one vector at a time.

- The query(ies) to compare to the target vectors
- The weights to apply to each distance (raw, or normalized) for each target vector

Multi-target vector search is available for `near_xxx` queries (from `v1.26`), as well as `hybrid` queries (from `v1.27`).
