Use this page to search a collection with a query vector and retrieve the most similar points.
You need an existing collection with inserted points. The example below uses random vectors for demonstration. In production, generate vectors from an embedding model.

Search a collection with a query vector

The search() method returns results ranked by similarity score. Score interpretation depends on your chosen distance metric.
Each result includes these fields:
  • id: The unique identifier of the matching point.
  • score: Similarity score based on the collection’s distance metric.
  • payload: Metadata dictionary containing document information.
  • vector: Vector embedding (only if with_vectors=True).
