 Semantic Search in Frigate allows you to find tracked objects within your review items using either the image itself, a user-defined text description, or an automatically generated one.

 The vision model is able to embed both images and text into the same vector space, which allows `image -> image` and `text -> image` similarity searches.

+1. Semantic Search is used in conjunction with the other filters available on the Explore page. Use a combination of traditional filtering and Semantic Search for the best results.
 2. Use the thumbnail search type when searching for particular objects in the scene. Use the description search type when attempting to discern the intent of your object.
 3. Because of how the AI models Frigate uses have been trained, the comparison between text and image embedding distances generally means that with multi-modal (`thumbnail` and `description`) searches, results matching `description` will appear first, even if a `thumbnail` embedding may be a better match. Play with the "Search Type" setting to help find what you are looking for. Note that if you are generating descriptions for specific objects or zones only, this may cause search results to prioritize the objects with descriptions even if the the ones without them are more relevant.
 4. Make your search language and tone closely match exactly what you're looking for. If you are using thumbnail search, **phrase your query as an image caption**. Searching for "red car" may not work as well as "red sedan driving down a residential street on a sunny day".

+### My RTSP stream works fine in VLC, but it does not work when I put the same URL in my Frigate config. Is this a bug?
+
+No. Frigate uses the TCP protocol to connect to your camera's RTSP URL. VLC automatically switches between UDP and TCP depending on network conditions and stream availability. So a stream that works in VLC but not in Frigate is likely due to VLC selecting UDP as the transfer protocol.
+
+TCP ensures that all data packets arrive in the correct order. This is crucial for video recording, decoding, and stream processing, which is why Frigate enforces a TCP connection. UDP is faster but less reliable, as it does not guarantee packet delivery or order, and VLC does not have the same requirements as Frigate.
+
+You can still configure Frigate to use UDP by using ffmpeg input args or the preset `preset-rtsp-udp`. See the [ffmpeg presets](/configuration/ffmpeg_presets) documentation.
