CyborgDB supports metadata tagging and filtering, enabling fine-grained search filters in addition to encrypted vector search. Metadata, like vectors, are end-to-end encrypted and never exposed in plaintext outside of the client.
The following metadata types are supported:
- Boolean
- String
- List of strings
- Numbers (will be stored as fp64)
To add items with metadata tags, you can pass a dictionary of key-value pairs to the metadata field during upsert:
This metadata will be encrypted and stored in the index.
Metadata field names and string values are case-sensitive. Ensure that the metadata field names and values are consistent when filtering queries.
CyborgDB supports a subset of MongoDB’s Query and Projection Operators. For more details, see Metadata Query Operators
To filter a query with metadata, you can pass a dictionary of filters to the filters field during query:
All metadata fields are indexed using encrypted indexing. This allows CyborgDB to securely exclude clusters which don’t match the provided metadata filters. As a result, searches with metadata filter should be as fast or faster than those without.
