By default, search returns only vector IDs and similarity scores. To include metadata with your results, set with_payload=True. Include payload data when you:
  • Need metadata to display results
  • Want to avoid extra fetch requests
  • Require metadata for downstream processing
Excluding payload reduces response size and network transfer time.
Each result includes these fields:
  • id: The unique identifier of the matching point.
  • score: Similarity score based on distance metric.
  • payload: Full metadata dictionary for the point.
