R interface to the Rust crate 'ann-search-rs'. Build an exact or approximate nearest neighbour index once, keep it in memory behind an 'R6' object and query it as often as you like. Index types include hierarchical navigable small world graphs (HNSW), 'Annoy' random projection trees, inverted file indices (IVF), nearest neighbour descent (NNDescent) and 'Vamana' graphs. Multi-threaded via the Rust crate 'Rayon', with 32-bit or 64-bit floating point storage. Methods are described in Malkov and Yashunin (2020) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2018.2889473> and Dong et al. (2011) <doi:10.1145/1963405.1963487>.
