python-v0.2.6
Up til now filters in LanceDB is applied on the search results. With this new release, we offer early support for applying the filters BEFORE running the search.
Currently limitations:
- Only supports KNN (an error will be raised if you're searching over a table with an ANN index)
- Only supports vector search (not an available option for full-text search yet)
- Opt-in, i.e., requires `.where(<filter>, prefilter=True)`
All of these will be expected to change in the future.
