Hi guys!

Does qdrant support exact phrase search in addition to vector search? By this I mean, could I search for "hello world," and find exactly all the instances of that literal phrase appearing in the index?

I wasn't sure, since the phrasing in https://qdrant.tech/documentation/filtering/#full-text-match seemed somewhat vague.

Hi @Sandkoan Exact phrase search is not yet supported. We just released the early version of the full-text recently, it will be extended in the upcoming versions. For now the phrase query will be interpreted as: all words must be present.

Could you perhaps provide an ETA on the feature? What still needs to be done?

Do you know of any vector databases capable of exact search? Weaviate doesn't seem able to support it, either.

Could you briefly describe your vector search use-case?

A large number of users, each with separate datasets, and the capacity to efficiently search both semantically and literally. Most data will be text, though some may be image.

Ok, understood. I do not have an estimate atm, will discuss it with the engineers. You can open an issue to speed it up.

Ok will do. Thank you for your help!

Sure, you are welcome. We value feedback from the community. Hope you can still make use of Qdrant.

Yupp, hope so
