kwargs (Any) – Collection.search() keyword arguments.

Return type:

List[float], List[Tuple[Document, any, any]]

similarity_search_with_score_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, param: dict | None = None, expr: str | None = None, timeout: float | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]]#

Perform a search on a query string and return results with score.

For more information about the search parameters, take a look at the pymilvus documentation found here: https://milvus.io/api-reference/pymilvus/v2.2.6/Collection/search().md

Parameters:

embedding (List[float]) – The embedding vector being searched.
k (int, optional) – The amount of results to return. Defaults to 4.
param (dict) – The search params for the specified index. Defaults to None.
expr (str, optional) – Filtering expression. Defaults to None.
timeout (float, optional) – How long to wait before timeout error. Defaults to None.
kwargs (Any) – Collection.search() keyword arguments.

Returns:

Result doc and score.

Return type:

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

upsert(ids: List[str] | None = None, documents: List[Document] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[str] | None#

Update/Insert documents to the vectorstore.

Parameters:

ids (List[str] | None) – IDs to update - Let’s call get_pks to get ids with expression
documents (List[Document]) – Documents to add to the vectorstore.
kwargs (Any)

Returns:

IDs of the added texts.

Return type:

List[str]
