query_text param not working for qdrant_client.search about qdrant-client

[joein]

@geetu040 unfortunately, your answer is confusing, could you correct it please?

[geetu040]

query_text param is not working for qdrant_client.search because you are using the wronge method here. Instead you should use qdrant_client.query that accepts query_text param

So, instead of this

qdrant_client.search(collection_name="my_collection", query_text="my_text")

You code should look like this

qdrant_client.query(collection_name="my_collection", query_text="my_text")

Source Code Explanation

If you want to look into the source code then this explanation is for you
The class QdrantClient inherits the class QdrantFastembedMixin

qdrant_client/qdrant_client.py

class QdrantClient(QdrantFastembedMixin):
	...

And the class QdrantFastembedMixin implements the query method you are looking for

qdrant_client/qdrant_fastembed.py

class QdrantFastembedMixin(QdrantBase):
    ...
    def query(
        self,
        collection_name: str,
        query_text: str,
        query_filter: Optional[models.Filter] = None,
        limit: int = 10,
        **kwargs: Any,
    ) -> List[QueryResponse]:
        ...

I hope this clears your concern, let me know if I am not being clear

hi @giacomobartoli

you are looking for another method - query, and it indeed accepts query_text

[geetu040]

QdrantClient inherits methods from QdrantFastembedMixin so you should use qdrant_client.search method instead

qdrant_client.search(collection_name="my_collection", query_text="my_text")

If you go through the source code you should find the method here
https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-client/blob/master/qdrant_client/qdrant_fastembed.py#L325

@geetu040 how am I supposed to change the code? Thanks for help

[giacomobartoli]

Thanks a lot @geetu040. At this point I am afraid the readme is misleading.

[joein]

@giacomobartoli I briefly checked readme and could not find a mistake :(
Could you please point to the exact statement in readme which is incorrect?

[giacomobartoli]

My bad. Readme is correct. You can close this issue.
