Maximal marginal relevance optimizes for similarity to query AND diversity
among selected documents.
Parameters
embedding – Embedding to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
fetch_k – Number of Documents to fetch to pass to MMR algorithm.
lambda_mult – Number between 0 and 1 that determines the degree
of diversity among the results with 0 corresponding
to maximum diversity and 1 to minimum diversity.
Defaults to 0.5.
Returns
List of Documents selected by maximal marginal relevance.
search(query: str, search_type: str, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document]¶
Return docs most similar to query using specified search type.
similarity_search(query: str, k: int = 4, param: Optional[dict] = None, expr: Optional[str] = None, timeout: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶
Perform a similarity search on the query string.
Parameters
query (str) – The text to search for.
k (int, optional) – The number of results to return. Default is 4.
param (dict, optional) – Specifies the search parameters for the index.
None. (Defaults to) – 
expr (str, optional) – Filtering expression. Defaults to None.
timeout (int, optional) – Time to wait before a timeout error.
None. – 
kwargs – Keyword arguments for Collection.search().
Returns
The document results of the search.
Return type
List[Document]
similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document]¶
Return docs most similar to embedding vector.
Parameters
embedding – Embedding to look up documents similar to.
