MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever

Retrieve documents from the MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore by full-text search. This retriever is only compatible with the MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore.

Basic Information

  • Type: haystack_integrations.mongodb_atlas.src.haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.mongodb_atlas.full_text_retriever.MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever
  • Components it can connect with:
    • Input: MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever can receive the query from the Input component.
    • Rankers: MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever can send the retrieved documents to a Ranker.

Inputs

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
queryUnion[str, List[str]]The query string or a list of query strings to search for. If the query contains multiple terms, Atlas Search evaluates each term separately for matches.
fuzzyOptional[Dict[str, int]]NoneEnables finding strings similar to the search terms. Note that you can't use fuzzy with synonyms. Configurable options include maxEdits, prefixLength, and maxExpansions. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas documentation.
match_criteriaOptional[Literal['any', 'all']]NoneDefines how terms in the query are matched. Supported options are "any" and "all". For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas documentation.
scoreOptional[Dict[str, Dict]]NoneSpecifies the scoring method for matching results. Supported options include boost, constant, and function. For more details refer to MongoDB Atlas documentation.
synonymsOptional[str]NoneThe name of the synonym mapping definition in the index. This value cannot be an empty string. Note that you can't use synonyms with fuzzy.
filtersOptional[Dict[str, Any]]NoneFilters applied to the retrieved Documents. The way runtime filters are applied depends on the filter_policy configured for the retriever. For details, see the Init Parameters section below.
top_kint10Maximum number of Documents to return.

Outputs

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
documentsList[Document]ist of Documents most similar to the given query.

Overview

Use MongoDBAtlasFullTextRetriever to retrieve documents from the MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore by full-text search. This retriever is only compatible with the MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore.

The full text search depends on the full_text_search_index used in the MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore.

Parameters

Init Parameters

These are the parameters you can configure in Pipeline Builder:

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
document_storeMongoDBAtlasDocumentStoreAn instance of MongoDBAtlasDocumentStore.
filtersOptional[Dict[str, Any]]NoneFilters applied to the retrieved Documents. Make sure that the fields used in the filters are included in the configuration of the full_text_search_index. The configuration must be done manually in the Web UI of MongoDB Atlas.
top_kint10Maximum number of Documents to return.
filter_policyUnion[str, FilterPolicy]FilterPolicy.REPLACEPolicy to determine how filters are applied if they're configured for the component but also passed at runtime. Possible values: MERGE and REPLACE. MERGE: If both filter types target the same field, the runtime filter takes precedence. Logical filters are combined unly if they have the same operator (AND, OR). Comparison filters are combined using the default logical operator (defaults to AND).

Run Method Parameters

These are the parameters you can configure for the component's run() method. This means you can pass these parameters at query time through the API, in Playground, or when running a job. For details, see Modify Pipeline Parameters at Query Time.
