Filtering

With Qdrant, you can set conditions when searching or retrieving points. For example, you can impose conditions on both the payload and the id of the point.

Setting additional conditions is important when it is impossible to express all the features of the object in the embedding. Examples include a variety of business requirements: stock availability, user location, or desired price range.

Filtering clauses

Qdrant allows you to combine conditions in clauses. Clauses are different logical operations, such as OR , AND , and NOT . Clauses can be recursively nested into each other so that you can reproduce an arbitrary boolean expression.

Let’s take a look at the clauses implemented in Qdrant.

Suppose we have a set of points with the following payload:

[
  { "id": 1, "city": "London", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 2, "city": "London", "color": "red" },
  { "id": 3, "city": "London", "color": "blue" },
  { "id": 4, "city": "Berlin", "color": "red" },
  { "id": 5, "city": "Moscow", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 6, "city": "Moscow", "color": "blue" }

Must

Example:

POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll
    "filter": {
        "must": [
            { "key": "city", "match": { "value": "London" } },
            { "key": "color", "match": { "value": "red" } }

from qdrant_client import QdrantClient, models
client = QdrantClient(url="http://localhost:6333")
client.scroll(
    collection_name="{collection_name}",
    scroll_filter=models.Filter(
        must=[
            models.FieldCondition(
                key="city",
                match=models.MatchValue(value="London"),
            models.FieldCondition(
                key="color",
                match=models.MatchValue(value="red"),

import { QdrantClient } from "@qdrant/js-client-rest";
const client = new QdrantClient({ host: "localhost", port: 6333 });
client.scroll("{collection_name}", {
  filter: {
    must: [
        key: "city",
        match: { value: "London" },
        key: "color",
        match: { value: "red" },

use qdrant_client::qdrant::{Condition, Filter, ScrollPointsBuilder};
use qdrant_client::Qdrant;
let client = Qdrant::from_url("http://localhost:6334").build()?;
client
    .scroll(
        ScrollPointsBuilder::new("{collection_name}").filter(Filter::must([
            Condition::matches("city", "london".to_string()),
            Condition::matches("color", "red".to_string()),
    .await?;

import java.util.List;
import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.matchKeyword;
import io.qdrant.client.QdrantClient;
import io.qdrant.client.QdrantGrpcClient;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.Filter;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.ScrollPoints;
QdrantClient client =
    new QdrantClient(QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder("localhost", 6334, false).build());
client
    .scrollAsync(
        ScrollPoints.newBuilder()
            .setCollectionName("{collection_name}")
            .setFilter(
                Filter.newBuilder()
                    .addAllMust(
                        List.of(matchKeyword("city", "London"), matchKeyword("color", "red")))
                    .build())
            .build())
    .get();

using Qdrant.Client;
using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
var client = new QdrantClient("localhost", 6334);
// & operator combines two conditions in an AND conjunction(must)
await client.ScrollAsync(
	collectionName: "{collection_name}",
	filter: MatchKeyword("city", "London") & MatchKeyword("color", "red")

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
client, err := qdrant.NewClient(&qdrant.Config{
	Host: "localhost",
	Port: 6334,
client.Scroll(context.Background(), &qdrant.ScrollPoints{
	CollectionName: "{collection_name}",
	Filter: &qdrant.Filter{
		Must: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewMatch("city", "London"),
			qdrant.NewMatch("color", "red"),

Filtered points would be:

[{ "id": 2, "city": "London", "color": "red" }]

When using must , the clause becomes true only if every condition listed inside must is satisfied. In this sense, must is equivalent to the operator AND .

Should

Example:

POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll
    "filter": {
        "should": [
            { "key": "city", "match": { "value": "London" } },
            { "key": "color", "match": { "value": "red" } }

client.scroll(
    collection_name="{collection_name}",
    scroll_filter=models.Filter(
        should=[
            models.FieldCondition(
                key="city",
                match=models.MatchValue(value="London"),
            models.FieldCondition(
                key="color",
                match=models.MatchValue(value="red"),

client.scroll("{collection_name}", {
  filter: {
    should: [
        key: "city",
        match: { value: "London" },
        key: "color",
        match: { value: "red" },

use qdrant_client::qdrant::{Condition, Filter, ScrollPointsBuilder};
use qdrant_client::Qdrant;
let client = Qdrant::from_url("http://localhost:6334").build()?;
client
    .scroll(
        ScrollPointsBuilder::new("{collection_name}").filter(Filter::should([
            Condition::matches("city", "london".to_string()),
            Condition::matches("color", "red".to_string()),
    .await?;

// | operator combines two conditions in an OR disjunction(should)
await client.ScrollAsync(
	collectionName: "{collection_name}",
	filter: MatchKeyword("city", "London") | MatchKeyword("color", "red")

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
client, err := qdrant.NewClient(&qdrant.Config{

	Filter: &qdrant.Filter{
		Should: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewMatch("city", "London"),
			qdrant.NewMatch("color", "red"),

Filtered points would be:

[
  { "id": 1, "city": "London", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 2, "city": "London", "color": "red" },
  { "id": 3, "city": "London", "color": "blue" },
  { "id": 4, "city": "Berlin", "color": "red" }

When using should , the clause becomes true if at least one condition listed inside should is satisfied. In this sense, should is equivalent to the operator OR .

Must Not

Example:

POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll
    "filter": {
        "must_not": [
            { "key": "city", "match": { "value": "London" } },
            { "key": "color", "match": { "value": "red" } }

client.scroll(
    collection_name="{collection_name}",
    scroll_filter=models.Filter(
        must_not=[
            models.FieldCondition(key="city", match=models.MatchValue(value="London")),
            models.FieldCondition(key="color", match=models.MatchValue(value="red")),

client.scroll("{collection_name}", {
  filter: {
    must_not: [
        key: "city",
        match: { value: "London" },
        key: "color",
        match: { value: "red" },

use qdrant_client::qdrant::{Condition, Filter, ScrollPointsBuilder};
use qdrant_client::Qdrant;
let client = Qdrant::from_url("http://localhost:6334").build()?;
client
    .scroll(
        ScrollPointsBuilder::new("{collection_name}").filter(Filter::must_not([
            Condition::matches("city", "london".to_string()),
            Condition::matches("color", "red".to_string()),
    .await?;

import java.util.List;

            .setFilter(
                Filter.newBuilder()
                    .addAllMustNot(
                        List.of(matchKeyword("city", "London"), matchKeyword("color", "red")))
                    .build())
            .build())
    .get();

using Qdrant.Client;
using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
var client = new QdrantClient("localhost", 6334);
// The ! operator negates the condition(must not)
await client.ScrollAsync(
	collectionName: "{collection_name}",
	filter: !(MatchKeyword("city", "London") & MatchKeyword("color", "red"))

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
client, err := qdrant.NewClient(&qdrant.Config{
	Host: "localhost",
	Port: 6334,
client.Scroll(context.Background(), &qdrant.ScrollPoints{
	CollectionName: "{collection_name}",
	Filter: &qdrant.Filter{
		MustNot: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewMatch("city", "London"),
			qdrant.NewMatch("color", "red"),

Filtered points would be:

[
  { "id": 5, "city": "Moscow", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 6, "city": "Moscow", "color": "blue" }

When using must_not , the clause becomes true if none if the conditions listed inside should is satisfied. In this sense, must_not is equivalent to the expression (NOT A) AND (NOT B) AND (NOT C) .

Clauses combination

It is also possible to use several clauses simultaneously:

POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll
    "filter": {
        "must": [
            { "key": "city", "match": { "value": "London" } }
        "must_not": [
            { "key": "color", "match": { "value": "red" } }

client.scroll(
    collection_name="{collection_name}",
    scroll_filter=models.Filter(
        must=[
            models.FieldCondition(key="city", match=models.MatchValue(value="London")),
        must_not=[
            models.FieldCondition(key="color", match=models.MatchValue(value="red")),

client.scroll("{collection_name}", {
  filter: {
    must: [
        key: "city",
        match: { value: "London" },
    must_not: [
        key: "color",
        match: { value: "red" },

use qdrant_client::qdrant::{Condition, Filter, ScrollPointsBuilder};
client
    .scroll(
        ScrollPointsBuilder::new("{collection_name}").filter(Filter {
            must: vec![Condition::matches("city", "London".to_string())],
            must_not: vec![Condition::matches("color", "red".to_string())],

                    .addMustNot(matchKeyword("color", "red"))

		Must: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewMatch("city", "London"),
		MustNot: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewMatch("color", "red"),

Filtered points would be:

[
  { "id": 1, "city": "London", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 3, "city": "London", "color": "blue" }

In this case, the conditions are combined by AND .

Also, the conditions could be recursively nested. Example:

POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll
    "filter": {
        "must_not": [
                "must": [
                    { "key": "city", "match": { "value": "London" } },

                    models.FieldCondition(
                        key="color", match=models.MatchValue(value="red")

client.scroll("{collection_name}", {
  filter: {
    must_not: [
        must: [
            key: "city",
            match: { value: "London" },
            key: "color",
            match: { value: "red" },

Filtered points would be:

  { "id": 4, "city": "Berlin", "color": "red" },
  { "id": 5, "city": "Moscow", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 6, "city": "Moscow", "color": "blue" }

Filtering conditions

Different types of values in payload correspond to different kinds of queries that we can apply to them. Let’s look at the existing condition variants and what types of data they apply to.

Match

{
  "key": "color",
  "match": {
    "value": "red"

models.FieldCondition(
    key="color",
    match=models.MatchValue(value="red"),
    key: 'color', 
    match: {value: 'red'}

Condition::matches("color", "red".to_string())

matchKeyword("color", "red");

using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
MatchKeyword("color", "red");

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewMatch("color", "red")

For the other types, the match condition will look exactly the same, except for the type used:

{
  "key": "count",
  "match": {
    "value": 0

models.FieldCondition(
    key="count",
    match=models.MatchValue(value=0),
    key: 'count',
    match: {value: 0}

Condition::matches("count", 0)

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.match;
match("count", 0);

using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
Match("count", 0);

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewMatchInt("count", 0)

The simplest kind of condition is one that checks if the stored value equals the given one. If several values are stored, at least one of them should match the condition. You can apply it to keyword , integer and bool payloads.

Match Any

Available as of v1.1.0

In case you want to check if the stored value is one of multiple values, you can use the Match Any condition. Match Any works as a logical OR for the given values. It can also be described as a IN operator.

You can apply it to keyword and integer payloads.

Example:

{
  "key": "color",
  "match": {
    "any": ["black", "yellow"]

models.FieldCondition(
    key="color",
    match=models.MatchAny(any=["black", "yellow"]),
    key: 'color',
    match: {any: ['black', 'yellow']}

Condition::matches("color", vec!["black".to_string(), "yellow".to_string()])

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.matchKeywords;
matchKeywords("color", List.of("black", "yellow"));

using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
Match("color", ["black", "yellow"]);

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewMatchKeywords("color", "black", "yellow")

In this example, the condition will be satisfied if the stored value is either black or yellow .

If the stored value is an array, it should have at least one value matching any of the given values. E.g. if the stored value is ["black", "green"] , the condition will be satisfied, because "black" is in ["black", "yellow"] .

Match Except

Available as of v1.2.0

In case you want to check if the stored value is not one of multiple values, you can use the Match Except condition. Match Except works as a logical NOR for the given values. It can also be described as a NOT IN operator.

You can apply it to keyword and integer payloads.

Example:

{
  "key": "color",
  "match": {
    "except": ["black", "yellow"]

models.FieldCondition(
    key="color",
    match=models.MatchExcept(**{"except": ["black", "yellow"]}),
    key: 'color',
    match: {except: ['black', 'yellow']}

use qdrant_client::qdrant::r#match::MatchValue;
Condition::matches(
    "color",
    !MatchValue::from(vec!["black".to_string(), "yellow".to_string()]),

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.matchExceptKeywords;
matchExceptKeywords("color", List.of("black", "yellow"));

using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
Match("color", ["black", "yellow"]);

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewMatchExcept("color", "black", "yellow")

In this example, the condition will be satisfied if the stored value is neither black nor yellow .

If the stored value is an array, it should have at least one value not matching any of the given values. E.g. if the stored value is ["black", "green"] , the condition will be satisfied, because "green" does not match "black" nor "yellow" .

Nested key

Available as of v1.1.0

Payloads being arbitrary JSON object, it is likely that you will need to filter on a nested field.

For convenience, we use a syntax similar to what can be found in the Jq project.

Suppose we have a set of points with the following payload:

[
    "id": 1,
    "country": {
      "name": "Germany",
      "cities": [
          "name": "Berlin",
          "population": 3.7,
          "sightseeing": ["Brandenburg Gate", "Reichstag"]
          "name": "Munich",
          "population": 1.5,
          "sightseeing": ["Marienplatz", "Olympiapark"]
    "id": 2,
    "country": {
      "name": "Japan",
      "cities": [
          "name": "Tokyo",
          "population": 9.3,
          "sightseeing": ["Tokyo Tower", "Tokyo Skytree"]
          "name": "Osaka",
          "population": 2.7,

Nested object filter

Available as of v1.2.0

By default, the conditions are taking into account the entire payload of a point.

For instance, given two points with the following payload:

[
    "id": 1,
    "dinosaur": "t-rex",
    "diet": [
      { "food": "leaves", "likes": false},
      { "food": "meat", "likes": true}
    "id": 2,
    "dinosaur": "diplodocus",
    "diet": [
      { "food": "leaves", "likes": true},
      { "food": "meat", "likes": false}

The following query would match both points:

		Must: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewMatch("diet[].food", "meat"),
			qdrant.NewMatchBool("diet[].likes", true),

This happens because both points are matching the two conditions:

the “t-rex” matches food=meat on diet[1].food and likes=true on diet[1].likes
the “diplodocus” matches food=meat on diet[1].food and likes=true on diet[0].likes

To retrieve only the points which are matching the conditions on an array element basis, that is the point with id 1 in this example, you would need to use a nested object filter.

Nested object filters allow arrays of objects to be queried independently of each other.

It is achieved by using the nested condition type formed by a payload key to focus on and a filter to apply.

The key should point to an array of objects and can be used with or without the bracket notation (“data” or “data[]”).

The matching logic is modified to be applied at the level of an array element within the payload.

Nested filters work in the same way as if the nested filter was applied to a single element of the array at a time. Parent document is considered to match the condition if at least one element of the array matches the nested filter.

Limitations

The has_id condition is not supported within the nested object filter. If you need it, place it in an adjacent must clause.

Full Text Match

Available as of v0.10.0

A special case of the match condition is the text match condition. It allows you to search for a specific substring, token or phrase within the text field.

Exact texts that will match the condition depend on full-text index configuration. Configuration is defined during the index creation and describe at full-text index .

If there is no full-text index for the field, the condition will work as exact substring match.

{
  "key": "description",
  "match": {
    "text": "good cheap"

models.FieldCondition(
    key="description",
    match=models.MatchText(text="good cheap"),
    key: 'description',
    match: {text: 'good cheap'}

use qdrant_client::qdrant::Condition;
Condition::matches_text("description", "good cheap")

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.matchText;
matchText("description", "good cheap");

using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
MatchText("description", "good cheap");

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewMatchText("description", "good cheap")

If the query has several words, then the condition will be satisfied only if all of them are present in the text.

Range

        gt: null,
        gte: 100.0,
        lt: null,
        lte: 450.0

    "price",
    Range {

qdrant.NewRange("price", &qdrant.Range{
	Gte: qdrant.PtrOf(100.0),
	Lte: qdrant.PtrOf(450.0),

The range condition sets the range of possible values for stored payload values. If several values are stored, at least one of them should match the condition.

Comparisons that can be used:

gt - greater than
gte - greater than or equal
lt - less than
lte - less than or equal

Can be applied to float and integer payloads.

Datetime Range

The datetime range is a unique range condition, used for datetime payloads, which supports RFC 3339 formats. You do not need to convert dates to UNIX timestaps. During comparison, timestamps are parsed and converted to UTC.

Available as of v1.8.0

UUID Match

Available as of v1.11.0

Matching of UUID values works similarly to the regular match condition for strings. Functionally, it will work with keyword and uuid indexes exactly the same, but uuid index is more memory efficient.

{
  "key": "uuid",
  "match": {
    "uuid": "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479"

models.FieldCondition(
    key="uuid",
    match=models.MatchValue(uuid="f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479"),
    key: 'uuid',
    match: {uuid: 'f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479'}

Condition::matches("uuid", "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479".to_string())

matchKeyword("uuid", "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479");

using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
MatchKeyword("uuid", "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479");

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"

It matches with location s inside a circle with the center at the center and a radius of radius meters.

If several values are stored, at least one of them should match the condition. These conditions can only be applied to payloads that match the geo-data format .

Geo Polygon

Geo Polygons search is useful for when you want to find points inside an irregularly shaped area, for example a country boundary or a forest boundary. A polygon always has an exterior ring and may optionally include interior rings. A lake with an island would be an example of an interior ring. If you wanted to find points in the water but not on the island, you would make an interior ring for the island.

When defining a ring, you must pick either a clockwise or counterclockwise ordering for your points. The first and last point of the polygon must be the same.

Currently, we only support unprojected global coordinates (decimal degrees longitude and latitude) and we are datum agnostic.

			{Lat: 60, Lon: 60},
			{Lat: -70, Lon: 60},
			{Lat: -70, Lon: -70},
	}, &qdrant.GeoLineString{
		Points: []*qdrant.GeoPoint{
			{Lat: -65, Lon: -65},

A match is considered any point location inside or on the boundaries of the given polygon’s exterior but not inside any interiors.

If several location values are stored for a point, then any of them matching will include that point as a candidate in the resultset. These conditions can only be applied to payloads that match the geo-data format .

Values count

In addition to the direct value comparison, it is also possible to filter by the amount of values.

For example, given the data:

[
  { "id": 1, "name": "product A", "comments": ["Very good!", "Excellent"] },
  { "id": 2, "name": "product B", "comments": ["meh", "expected more", "ok"] }

We can perform the search only among the items with more than two comments:

{
  "key": "comments",
  "values_count": {
    "gt": 2

models.FieldCondition(
    key="comments",
    values_count=models.ValuesCount(gt=2),
    key: 'comments',
    values_count: {gt: 2}

use qdrant_client::qdrant::{Condition, ValuesCount};
Condition::values_count(
    "comments",
    ValuesCount {
        gt: Some(2),
        ..Default::default()

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.valuesCount;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.ValuesCount;
valuesCount("comments", ValuesCount.newBuilder().setGt(2).build());

using Qdrant.Client.Grpc;
using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
ValuesCount("comments", new ValuesCount { Gt = 2 });

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewValuesCount("comments", &qdrant.ValuesCount{
	Gt: qdrant.PtrOf(uint64(2)),

The result would be:

[{ "id": 2, "name": "product B", "comments": ["meh", "expected more", "ok"] }]

If stored value is not an array - it is assumed that the amount of values is equals to 1.

Is Empty

Sometimes it is also useful to filter out records that are missing some value. The IsEmpty condition may help you with that:

{
  "is_empty": {
    "key": "reports"

models.IsEmptyCondition(
    is_empty=models.PayloadField(key="reports"),
  is_empty: {
    key: "reports";

use qdrant_client::qdrant::Condition;
Condition::is_empty("reports")

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.isEmpty;
isEmpty("reports");

using Qdrant.Client.Grpc;
using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
IsEmpty("reports");

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewIsEmpty("reports")

This condition will match all records where the field reports either does not exist, or has null or [] value.

Is Null

It is not possible to test for NULL values with the match condition. We have to use IsNull condition instead:

{
    "is_null": {
        "key": "reports"

models.IsNullCondition(
    is_null=models.PayloadField(key="reports"),
  is_null: {
    key: "reports";

use qdrant_client::qdrant::Condition;
Condition::is_null("reports")

import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.isNull;
isNull("reports");

using Qdrant.Client.Grpc;
using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
IsNull("reports");

import "github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
qdrant.NewIsNull("reports")

This condition will match all records where the field reports exists and has NULL value.

Has id

This type of query is not related to payload, but can be very useful in some situations. For example, the user could mark some specific search results as irrelevant, or we want to search only among the specified points.

POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll
    "filter": {
        "must": [
            { "has_id": [1,3,5,7,9,11] }

client.scroll(
    collection_name="{collection_name}",
    scroll_filter=models.Filter(
        must=[
            models.HasIdCondition(has_id=[1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]),

client.scroll("{collection_name}", {
  filter: {
    must: [
        has_id: [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11],

use qdrant_client::qdrant::{Condition, Filter, ScrollPointsBuilder};
use qdrant_client::Qdrant;
let client = Qdrant::from_url("http://localhost:6334").build()?;
client
    .scroll(
        ScrollPointsBuilder::new("{collection_name}")
            .filter(Filter::must([Condition::has_id([1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11])])),
    .await?;

import java.util.List;
import static io.qdrant.client.ConditionFactory.hasId;
import static io.qdrant.client.PointIdFactory.id;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.Filter;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.ScrollPoints;
client
    .scrollAsync(
        ScrollPoints.newBuilder()
            .setCollectionName("{collection_name}")
            .setFilter(
                Filter.newBuilder()
                    .addMust(hasId(List.of(id(1), id(3), id(5), id(7), id(9), id(11))))
                    .build())
            .build())
    .get();

using Qdrant.Client;
using static Qdrant.Client.Grpc.Conditions;
var client = new QdrantClient("localhost", 6334);
await client.ScrollAsync(collectionName: "{collection_name}", filter: HasId([1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]));

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/qdrant/go-client/qdrant"
client, err := qdrant.NewClient(&qdrant.Config{
	Host: "localhost",
	Port: 6334,
client.Scroll(context.Background(), &qdrant.ScrollPoints{
	CollectionName: "{collection_name}",
	Filter: &qdrant.Filter{
		Must: []*qdrant.Condition{
			qdrant.NewHasID(
				qdrant.NewIDNum(1),
				qdrant.NewIDNum(3),
				qdrant.NewIDNum(5),
				qdrant.NewIDNum(7),
				qdrant.NewIDNum(9),
				qdrant.NewIDNum(11),

Filtered points would be:

[
  { "id": 1, "city": "London", "color": "green" },
  { "id": 3, "city": "London", "color": "blue" },
  { "id": 5, "city": "Moscow", "color": "green" }
