k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
Returns
List of Documents most similar to the query.
Optional Args:vector_field: Document field embeddings are stored in. Defaults to
“vector_field”.
text_field: Document field the text of the document is stored in. Defaults
to “text”.
metadata_field: Document field that metadata is stored in. Defaults to
“metadata”.
Can be set to a special value “*” to include the entire document.
Optional Args for Approximate Search:search_type: “approximate_search”; default: “approximate_search”
boolean_filter: A Boolean filter is a post filter consists of a Boolean
query that contains a k-NN query and a filter.
subquery_clause: Query clause on the knn vector field; default: “must”
lucene_filter: the Lucene algorithm decides whether to perform an exact
k-NN search with pre-filtering or an approximate search with modified
post-filtering. (deprecated, use efficient_filter)
efficient_filter: the Lucene Engine or Faiss Engine decides whether to
perform an exact k-NN search with pre-filtering or an approximate search
with modified post-filtering.
Optional Args for Script Scoring Search:search_type: “script_scoring”; default: “approximate_search”
space_type: “l2”, “l1”, “linf”, “cosinesimil”, “innerproduct”,
“hammingbit”; default: “l2”
pre_filter: script_score query to pre-filter documents before identifying
nearest neighbors; default: {“match_all”: {}}
