SearchIterator()

Addedv2.6.x

This operation creates an iterator for paginating through large search result sets.

func (c *Client) SearchIterator(ctx context.Context, option SearchIteratorOption, callOptions ...grpc.CallOption) (SearchIterator, error)

Request Syntax

option := milvusclient.NewSearchIteratorOption(collectionName, vector).
WithBatchSize(batchSize).
WithPartitions(partitionNames).
WithFilter(expr).
WithTemplateParam(key, val).
WithOffset(offset).
WithOutputFields(fieldNames).
WithConsistencyLevel(consistencyLevel).
WithANNSField(annsField).
WithGroupByField(groupByField).
WithGroupSize(groupSize).
WithStrictGroupSize(strictGroupSize).
WithIgnoreGrowing(ignoreGrowing).
WithAnnParam(ap).
WithSearchParam(key, value).
WithIteratorLimit(limit)

result, err := client.SearchIterator(ctx, option)

PARAMETERS:

  • collectionName (string)

    The name of the target collection.

  • vector (entity.Vector)

    The query vectors for similarity search.

OPTION METHODS:

  • WithBatchSize(batchSize int)

    Sets the number of entities to fetch per iteration batch.

  • WithPartitions(partitionNames ...string)

    Limits the operation to the specified partitions.

  • WithFilter(expr string)

    Applies a boolean filter expression to narrow results.

  • WithTemplateParam(key string, val any)

    Sets a template parameter for expression evaluation.

  • WithOffset(offset int)

    Sets the number of results to skip before returning matches.

  • WithOutputFields(fieldNames ...string)

    Specifies which fields to include in the returned results.

  • WithConsistencyLevel(consistencyLevel [entity.ConsistencyLevel](./v2-Collection-ConsistencyLevel))

    Sets the consistency level for the operation (Strong, Bounded, Session, or Eventually).

  • WithANNSField(annsField string)

    Specifies which vector field to search against.

  • WithGroupByField(groupByField string)

    Groups search results by a scalar field value.

  • WithGroupSize(groupSize int)

    Sets the number of results to return per group.

  • WithStrictGroupSize(strictGroupSize bool)

    Enforces exact group size for each group in results.

  • WithIgnoreGrowing(ignoreGrowing bool)

    Skips searching in growing segments for faster but potentially incomplete results.

  • WithAnnParam(ap [index.AnnParam](./v2-Vector-AnnParam))

    Sets the approximate nearest neighbor search parameters (e.g., nprobe, ef).

  • WithSearchParam(key, value string)

    Sets a custom search parameter key-value pair.

  • WithIteratorLimit(limit int64)

    WithIteratorLimit sets the limit of entries to iterate if limit < 0, then it will be set to Unlimited

RETURN TYPE:

SearchIterator, error

RETURNS:

A SearchIterator for paginating through search results. Returns an error if the operation fails.

EXCEPTIONS:

  • error

    Check err != nil for failure details.
