Azure Cognitive Search in Python using Vector embeddings Error

I am trying to use Azure Cognitive Search for Vector search. Trying to use the python sdk and I am getting an error saying ImportError: cannot import name 'Vector' from 'azure.search.documents.models'.

I did install azure-search-documents using pip and it is the latest version. Any pointers on what I am missing here.

Using the github sample on creating a vector store in Azure Cognitive Search

The link provided above has the answer. The problem you are facing is because the latest version of azure-search-documents==11.4.0 doesn't have the Vector class anymore instead we have to use VectorizedQuery as provided in the above link shared.

Earlier preview versions had this Vector class. For eg: azure-search-documents==11.4.0b8

So you have to update to latest which is always better and update code to use VectorizedQuery instead of Vector. The search_client also takes a new parameter vector_queries instead of earlier vectors

Sample Code with latest azure-search-documents


from azure.search.documents.models import VectorizedQuery
...

vector_query = VectorizedQuery(vector=get_embeddings(query), k_nearest_neighbors=3, fields="descriptionVector")

    results = search_client.search(
        vector_queries=[vector_query],
        select=["hotelId", "hotelName"],
    )

If it doesn't work while you've already chosen other versions. Try changing the kernel, that worked for me after trying all the versions of azure-search-documents and it still did not work.

I'd like to add to Hacker's answer. Newer preview versions also work. Therefore below command should also solve your problem:

pip install azure-search-documents==11.4.0b6
