Perform a Vector Search

Perform a semantic search based on vector input using the query playground.

In order to perform a text search, you must have already loaded a model to your database. For instructions, see Load a Model Using the Vector Database Console.

  1. On the Query playground page, choose the table on which to perform the semantic search.
  2. Select Vector search and enter vector value(s) in the text box. For example, you may input a vector in the format [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, …].
  3. Optionally enter a value for Top K Results. This will limit the number of records returned to the specified value.
  4. Optionally click the checkbox to Include vectors.

    If this option is selected, complete vector data will be included in the results.

  5. Optionally specify Filters.

    You may want to filter results on one or more fields. Enter the desired field, select an operation from the drop down list, and then provide a value.

    Select Add filter to add filters or select the 'X' symbol to the right of the filter to remove it.

  6. Click Run search.

Query results will be displayed by default in Table view. Click JSON to view the results in JSON format. In the ACTIONS column, click the three dots context menu to Edit or Drop a row. Selecting Edit takes you to a Vector details page, where you can view record information, edit metadata, and see associated vectors.
