resolves #2937

What is in this change?

  • Fix a bug where if there is an exact match in Lance or ChromaDB from the vector search (distance = 0) then similarity would be 0 and no result would be found
  • Fixed by checking if distance <= 0 -> returns 1 as similarity score which means it was a perfect match
  • It was previously distance <= 0 -> returns 0 for similarity
  • Also fixed if (distance >= 1.0) return 0; because if distance should always be a value between 0 and 1 and if distance is greater than 1 then similarity should be 0
