What is Marqo?

Marqo is a vector search engine that indexes and retrieves unstructured data such as text, images, and code. It handles the full workflow: converting your data into vector embeddings, storing those embeddings, and running search queries across them. The tool supports multimodal queries, meaning you can search using combinations of text and images together. It's designed for developers and data scientists who need to build search functionality into applications without managing embedding models and vector databases separately.

Key features

Multimodal search

query using text, images, or combinations of both

Built-in embedding generation

automatically converts documents and queries into vectors

Vector storage and indexing

stores embeddings with metadata for fast retrieval

Weighted query construction

combine multiple search components with custom weightings

API-based access

integrate search functionality via REST or Python SDK

Scalable infrastructure

handles projects from small prototypes to large deployments

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Reduces complexity by combining embedding, storage, and search in one platform
  • Supports multiple data types without requiring separate pipelines for each
  • Multimodal capabilities allow searching across text and images simultaneously
  • Relatively straightforward API for getting started quickly

Limitations

  • Pricing details not publicly transparent, requiring contact with sales
  • May be overkill for simple single-modality search tasks
  • Requires familiarity with vector search concepts to use effectively

Use cases

Building image and text search for e-commerce product catalogues

Creating semantic search over documentation and code repositories

Developing content discovery systems that understand visual and textual similarity

Implementing search features in applications handling mixed media archives

Analysing unstructured company data across documents and images
