Methods

__construct

Constructor.

Parameters
Name Description
data array

Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
↳ serving_config string

Required. The resource name of the Search serving config, such as projects/*/locations/global/collections/default_collection/engines/*/servingConfigs/default_serving_config, or projects/*/locations/global/collections/default_collection/dataStores/default_data_store/servingConfigs/default_serving_config. This field is used to identify the serving configuration name, set of models used to make the search.
↳ branch string

The branch resource name, such as projects/*/locations/global/collections/default_collection/dataStores/default_data_store/branches/0. Use default_branch as the branch ID or leave this field empty, to search documents under the default branch.
↳ query string

Raw search query.
↳ image_query Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\ImageQuery

Raw image query.
↳ page_size int

Maximum number of Documents to return. The maximum allowed value depends on the data type. Values above the maximum value are coerced to the maximum value. * Websites with basic indexing: Default 10, Maximum 25. * Websites with advanced indexing: Default 25, Maximum 50. * Other: Default 50, Maximum 100. If this field is negative, an INVALID_ARGUMENT is returned.
↳ page_token string

A page token received from a previous SearchService.Search call. Provide this to retrieve the subsequent page. When paginating, all other parameters provided to SearchService.Search must match the call that provided the page token. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.
↳ offset int

A 0-indexed integer that specifies the current offset (that is, starting result location, amongst the Documents deemed by the API as relevant) in search results. This field is only considered if page_token is unset. If this field is negative, an INVALID_ARGUMENT is returned.
↳ data_store_specs array<Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\DataStoreSpec>

A list of data store specs to apply on a search call.
↳ filter string

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
↳ canonical_filter string

The default filter that is applied when a user performs a search without checking any filters on the search page. The filter applied to every search request when quality improvement such as query expansion is needed. In the case a query does not have a sufficient amount of results this filter will be used to determine whether or not to enable the query expansion flow. The original filter will still be used for the query expanded search. This field is strongly recommended to achieve high search quality. For more information about filter syntax, see SearchRequest.filter.
↳ order_by string

The order in which documents are returned. Documents can be ordered by a field in an Document object. Leave it unset if ordered by relevance. order_by expression is case-sensitive. For more information on ordering, see Ordering If this field is unrecognizable, an INVALID_ARGUMENT is returned.
↳ user_info Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\UserInfo

Information about the end user. Highly recommended for analytics. UserInfo.user_agent is used to deduce device_type for analytics.
↳ facet_specs array<Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\FacetSpec>

Facet specifications for faceted search. If empty, no facets are returned. A maximum of 100 values are allowed. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.
↳ boost_spec Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\BoostSpec

Boost specification to boost certain documents. For more information on boosting, see Boosting
↳ params array|Google\Protobuf\Internal\MapField

Additional search parameters. For public website search only, supported values are: * user_country_code: string. Default empty. If set to non-empty, results are restricted or boosted based on the location provided. Example: user_country_code: "au" For available codes see Country Codes * search_type: double. Default empty. Enables non-webpage searching depending on the value. The only valid non-default value is 1, which enables image searching. Example: search_type: 1
↳ query_expansion_spec Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\QueryExpansionSpec

The query expansion specification that specifies the conditions under which query expansion occurs.
↳ spell_correction_spec Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\SpellCorrectionSpec

The spell correction specification that specifies the mode under which spell correction takes effect.
↳ user_pseudo_id string

A unique identifier for tracking visitors. For example, this could be implemented with an HTTP cookie, which should be able to uniquely identify a visitor on a single device. This unique identifier should not change if the visitor logs in or out of the website. This field should NOT have a fixed value such as unknown_visitor. This should be the same identifier as UserEvent.user_pseudo_id and CompleteQueryRequest.user_pseudo_id The field must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 128 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.
↳ content_search_spec Google\Cloud\DiscoveryEngine\V1\SearchRequest\ContentSearchSpec

A specification for configuring the behavior of content search.
↳ safe_search bool

Whether to turn on safe search. This is only supported for website search.
↳ user_labels array|Google\Protobuf\Internal\MapField

The user labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements: * Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64. * Each label must be a key-value pair. * Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters and cannot be empty. Values can be empty and have a maximum length of 63 characters. * Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed. * The key portion of a label must be unique. However, you can use the same key with multiple resources. * Keys must start with a lowercase letter or international character. See Google Cloud Document for more details.
