Description

SimpleText doesn't implement vector search today by throwing an UnsupportedOperationException. We worked around this by disabling SimpleText on tests that use vectors until now, but this isn't a good solution: SimpleText should implement APIs correctly and only be disabled on tests that expect a binary format or that are too slow with SimpleText.

Let's implement this method via linear scan for now?
