String Field

In Milvus, VARCHAR is the data type used for storing string data. When you define a VARCHAR field, two parameters are mandatory:

• Set the datatype to DataType.VARCHAR.

• Specify the max_length, which defines the maximum number of bytes the VARCHAR field can store. The valid range for max_length is from 1 to 65,535.

Add VARCHAR field

To store string data in Milvus, define a VARCHAR field in your collection schema. Below is an example of defining a collection schema with two VARCHAR fields:

• varchar_field1: stores up to 100 bytes, allows null values, and has a default value of "Unknown".

• varchar_field2: stores up to 200 bytes, allows null values, but does not have a default value.

# Import necessary libraries
from pymilvus import MilvusClient, DataType

# Define server address
SERVER_ADDR = "http://localhost:19530"

# Create a MilvusClient instance
client = MilvusClient(uri=SERVER_ADDR)

# Define the collection schema
schema = client.create_schema(
    auto_id=False,
    enable_dynamic_fields=True,
)

# Add `varchar_field1` that supports null values with default value "Unknown"
schema.add_field(field_name="varchar_field1", datatype=DataType.VARCHAR, max_length=100, nullable=True, default_value="Unknown")
# Add `varchar_field2` that supports null values without default value
schema.add_field(field_name="varchar_field2", datatype=DataType.VARCHAR, max_length=200, nullable=True)
schema.add_field(field_name="pk", datatype=DataType.INT64, is_primary=True)
schema.add_field(field_name="embedding", datatype=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, dim=3)

Set index params

Indexing helps improve search and query performance. In Milvus, indexing is mandatory for vector fields but optional for scalar fields.

The following example creates indexes on the vector field embedding and the scalar field varchar_field1, both using the AUTOINDEX index type. With this type, Milvus automatically selects the most suitable index based on the data type. You can also customize the index type and params for each field. For details, refer to Index Explained.

# Set index params

index_params = client.prepare_index_params()

# Index `varchar_field1` with AUTOINDEX
index_params.add_index(
    field_name="varchar_field1",
    index_type="AUTOINDEX",
    index_name="varchar_index"
)

# Index `embedding` with AUTOINDEX and specify metric_type
index_params.add_index(
    field_name="embedding",
    index_type="AUTOINDEX",  # Use automatic indexing to simplify complex index settings
    metric_type="COSINE"  # Specify similarity metric type, options include L2, COSINE, or IP
)

import io.milvus.v2.common.IndexParam;
import java.util.*;

List<IndexParam> indexes = new ArrayList<>();
indexes.add(IndexParam.builder()
        .fieldName("varchar_field1")
        .indexName("varchar_index")
        .indexType(IndexParam.IndexType.AUTOINDEX)
        .build());
        
indexes.add(IndexParam.builder()
        .fieldName("embedding")
        .indexType(IndexParam.IndexType.AUTOINDEX)
        .metricType(IndexParam.MetricType.COSINE)
        .build());

indexOption1 := milvusclient.NewCreateIndexOption("my_collection", "embedding",
    index.NewAutoIndex(index.MetricType(entity.IP)))
indexOption2 := milvusclient.NewCreateIndexOption("my_collection", "varchar_field1",
    index.NewInvertedIndex())

const indexParams = [{
    index_name: 'varchar_index',
    field_name: 'varchar_field1',
    index_type: IndexType.AUTOINDEX,
)];

indexParams.push({
    index_name: 'embedding_index',
    field_name: 'embedding',
    metric_type: MetricType.COSINE,
    index_type: IndexType.AUTOINDEX,

        }
    ]'

Create collection

Once the schema and index are defined, create a collection that includes string fields.

# Create Collection
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="my_collection",
    schema=schema,
    index_params=index_params
)

CreateCollectionReq requestCreate = CreateCollectionReq.builder()
        .collectionName("my_collection")
        .collectionSchema(schema)
        .indexParams(indexes)
        .build();
client.createCollection(requestCreate);

err = client.CreateCollection(ctx,
    milvusclient.NewCreateCollectionOption("my_collection", schema).
        WithIndexOptions(indexOption1, indexOption2))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
    // handle error
}

await client.create_collection({
    collection_name: "my_collection",
    schema: schema,
    index_params: index_params
});

}"
## {"code":0,"data":{}}

Insert data

After creating the collection, insert entities that match the schema.

data = [

To retrieve entities where the varchar_field1 matches the string "Product A":

# Filter `varchar_field1` with value "Product A"
filter = 'varchar_field1 == "Product A"'

res = client.query(

    output_fields=["varchar_field1", "varchar_field2"]

Vector search with filter expressions

In addition to basic scalar field filtering, you can combine vector similarity searches with scalar field filters. For example, the following code shows how to add a scalar field filter to a vector search:

# Search with string filtering

# Filter `varchar_field2` with value "Best seller"
filter = 'varchar_field2 == "Best seller"'

res = client.search(
    collection_name="my_collection",
    data=[[0.3, -0.6, 0.1]],
    limit=5,
    search_params={"params": {"nprobe": 10}},
    output_fields=["varchar_field1", "varchar_field2"],
    filter=filter
)

print(res)

# Example output:
# data: [
