+    "Next, create the store with an [index configuration](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/reference/store/#langgraph.store.base.IndexConfig). By default, stores are configured without semantic/vector search. You can opt in to indexing items when creating the store by providing an [IndexConfig](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/reference/store/#langgraph.store.base.IndexConfig) to the store's constructor. If your store class does not implement this interface, or if you do not pass in an index configuration, semantic search is disabled, and all `index` arguments passed to `put` or `aput` will have no effect. Below is an exmaple."
