getFilter()

public abstract String getFilter()

The filter syntax consists of an expression language for constructing a predicate from one or more fields of the documents being filtered. Filter expression is case-sensitive.

If this field is unrecognizable, an INVALID_ARGUMENT is returned.

Filtering in Vertex AI Search is done by mapping the LHS filter key to a key property defined in the Vertex AI Search backend -- this mapping is defined by the customer in their schema. For example a media customer might have a field 'name' in their schema. In this case the filter would look like this: filter --> name:'ANY("king kong")'

For more information about filtering including syntax and filter operators, see Filter

string filter = 7;

Returns
Type Description
String

The filter.
