Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/1182

Originally assigned to: @timothycarambat on GitHub.

I tried to change the Embedding Provider from AnythingLLM Embedder to Ollama and it showed me a popup with a warning "Switching the vector database will ignore previously embedded documents and future similarity search results. They will need to be re-added to each workspace."

I am trying to change the Embedding Provider not Vector Database so why the warning is saying "Switching the vector database....."

I'm new to this so a explanation with less technical terms would be much appreciated

AnythingLLM Version - v1.5.0 (macOS Desktop App)

Oh that is a typo, if you attempt to change your vector database or embedder you are likely to have issues with already embedded content. Will fix!
