The vector field used to search of collection (vector): vector

Metric type: L2

Search parameter nprobe's value: 10

The specified number of decimal places of returned distance [-1]: 5

The max number of returned record, also known as topk: 2

The boolean expression used to filter attribute []: id > 0

The names of partitions to search (split by "," if multiple) ['_default'] []: _default

timeout []:

Guarantee Timestamp(It instructs Milvus to see all operations performed before a provided timestamp. If no such timestamp is provided, then Milvus will search all operations performed to date) [0]:

Travel Timestamp(Specify a timestamp in a search to get results based on a data view) [0]:
