score_threshold: Minimum relevance threshold
for similarity_score_threshold
fetch_k: Amount of documents to pass to MMR algorithm (Default: 20)
lambda_mult: Diversity of results returned by MMR;
1 for minimum diversity and 0 for maximum. (Default: 0.5)
filter: Filter by document metadata
Returns
Retriever class for VectorStore.
Return type
VectorStoreRetriever
Examples:
# Retrieve more documents with higher diversity
# Useful if your dataset has many similar documents
docsearch.as_retriever(
    search_type="mmr",
    search_kwargs={'k': 6, 'lambda_mult': 0.25}
)
# Fetch more documents for the MMR algorithm to consider
# But only return the top 5
docsearch.as_retriever(
    search_type="mmr",
    search_kwargs={'k': 5, 'fetch_k': 50}
)
# Only retrieve documents that have a relevance score
# Above a certain threshold
docsearch.as_retriever(
    search_type="similarity_score_threshold",
    search_kwargs={'score_threshold': 0.8}
)
# Only get the single most similar document from the dataset
docsearch.as_retriever(search_kwargs={'k': 1})
# Use a filter to only retrieve documents from a specific paper
docsearch.as_retriever(
    search_kwargs={'filter': {'paper_title':'GPT-4 Technical Report'}}
)
async asearch(query: str, search_type: str, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, k: int = 3, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶
Return docs most similar to query using specified search type.
