When building a search system, one fundamental question emerges: **when should a query and document interact?** The answer to this question profoundly affects both the quality of search results and the system's scalability.

**Key observation:** Unlike single-vector search, each document is represented by **multiple vectors** (typically 32-512 depending on document length). The similarity computation (MaxSim) happens at search time, comparing each query token against all document tokens.

**Enables scale:** Pre-computed multi-vector representations mean you can build practical search systems over large document collections. The computational cost grows with collection size, not quadratically with query-document pairs.

**Beyond text:** The late interaction paradigm extends naturally to other modalities. Module 2 explores how ColPali applies these same principles to visual documents, enabling semantic search over images and PDFs.
