FilterExpression#

class FilterExpression(_filter=None, operator=None, left=None, right=None)[source]#

A FilterExpression is a logical combination of filters in RedisVL.

FilterExpressions can be combined using the & and | operators to create complex expressions that evaluate to the Redis Query language.

This presents an interface by which users can create complex queries without having to know the Redis Query language.

from redisvl.query.filter import Tag, Num

brand_is_nike = Tag("brand") == "nike"
price_is_over_100 = Num("price") < 100
f = brand_is_nike & price_is_over_100

print(str(f))

>>> (@brand:{nike} @price:[-inf (100)])

This can be combined with the VectorQuery class to create a query:

from redisvl.query import VectorQuery

v = VectorQuery(
    vector=[0.1, 0.1, 0.5, ...],
    vector_field_name="product_embedding",
    return_fields=["product_id", "brand", "price"],
    filter_expression=f,
)

Note

Filter expressions are typically not called directly. Instead they are built by combining filter statements using the & and | operators.

Parameters:

_filter (str | None)
operator (FilterOperator | None)
left (FilterExpression | None)
right (FilterExpression | None)

Tag#

class Tag(field)[source]#

A Tag filter can be applied to Tag fields

Parameters:: field (str)

__eq__(other)[source]#

Create a Tag equality filter expression.

Parameters:: other (Union[List[str], str]) – The tag(s) to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Tag

f = Tag("brand") == "nike"

__ne__(other)[source]#

Create a Tag inequality filter expression.

Parameters:: other (Union[List[str], str]) – The tag(s) to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Tag
f = Tag("brand") != "nike"

__str__()[source]#

Return the Redis Query string for the Tag filter

Return type:: str

Text#

class Text(field)[source]#

A Text is a FilterField representing a text field in a Redis index.

Parameters:: field (str)

__eq__(other)[source]#

Create a Text equality filter expression. These expressions yield filters that enforce an exact match on the supplied term(s).

Parameters:: other (str) – The text value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Text

f = Text("job") == "engineer"

__mod__(other)[source]#

Create a Text “LIKE” filter expression. A flexible expression that yields filters that can use a variety of additional operators like wildcards (*), fuzzy matches (%%), or combinatorics (|) of the supplied term(s).

Parameters:: other (str) – The text value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Text

f = Text("job") % "engine*"         # suffix wild card match
f = Text("job") % "%%engine%%"      # fuzzy match w/ Levenshtein Distance
f = Text("job") % "engineer|doctor" # contains either term in field
f = Text("job") % "engineer doctor" # contains both terms in field

__ne__(other)[source]#

Create a Text inequality filter expression. These expressions yield negated filters on exact matches on the supplied term(s). Opposite of an equality filter expression.

Parameters:: other (str) – The text value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Text

f = Text("job") != "engineer"

__str__()[source]#

Return the Redis Query string for the Text filter

Return type:: str

Num#

class Num(field)[source]#

A Num is a FilterField representing a numeric field in a Redis index.

Parameters:: field (str)

__eq__(other)[source]#

Create a Numeric equality filter expression.

Parameters:: other (int) – The value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Num
f = Num("zipcode") == 90210

__ge__(other)[source]#

Create a Numeric greater than or equal to filter expression.

Parameters:: other (int) – The value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Num

f = Num("age") >= 18

__gt__(other)[source]#

Create a Numeric greater than filter expression.

Parameters:: other (int) – The value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Num

f = Num("age") > 18

__le__(other)[source]#

Create a Numeric less than or equal to filter expression.

Parameters:: other (int) – The value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Num

f = Num("age") <= 18

__lt__(other)[source]#

Create a Numeric less than filter expression.

Parameters:: other (int) – The value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Num

f = Num("age") < 18

__ne__(other)[source]#

Create a Numeric inequality filter expression.

Parameters:: other (int) – The value to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Num

f = Num("zipcode") != 90210

__str__()[source]#

Return the Redis Query string for the Numeric filter

Return type:: str

Geo#

class Geo(field)[source]#

A Geo is a FilterField representing a geographic (lat/lon) field in a Redis index.

Parameters:: field (str)

__eq__(other)[source]#

Create a geographic filter within a specified GeoRadius.

Parameters:: other (GeoRadius) – The geographic spec to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Geo, GeoRadius

f = Geo("location") == GeoRadius(-122.4194, 37.7749, 1, unit="m")

__ne__(other)[source]#

Create a geographic filter outside of a specified GeoRadius.

Parameters:: other (GeoRadius) – The geographic spec to filter on.
Return type:: FilterExpression

from redisvl.query.filter import Geo, GeoRadius

f = Geo("location") != GeoRadius(-122.4194, 37.7749, 1, unit="m")

__str__()[source]#

Return the Redis Query string for the Geo filter

Return type:: str

GeoRadius#

class GeoRadius(longitude, latitude, radius=1, unit='km')[source]#

A GeoRadius is a GeoSpec representing a geographic radius.
