Filtering by user_id in graph memory search results does not work

[nibankougen]

🐛 Describe the bug

The vector memory search result (memories) is filtered by user_id, but the graph memory search result (entities) is not filtered by user_id, is this correct behavior? I expected graph memory search results to be filtered by user_id as well as vector memory ones.

For example, I executed the following code using vector memory and graph memory.

from mem0 import Memory
import os

neo4j_username = os.environ.get("NEO4J_USERNAME")
neo4j_password = os.environ.get("NEO4J_PASSWORD")
neo4j_url = os.environ.get("NEO4J_URL")
qdrant_url = os.environ.get("QDRANT_URL")

mem0_config = {
  "vector_store": {
    "provider": "qdrant",
    "config": {
      "collection_name": "knowledge",
      "url": qdrant_url,
    }
  },
  "graph_store": {
    "provider": "neo4j",
    "config": {
      "url": neo4j_url,
      "username": neo4j_username,
      "password": neo4j_password
    }
  },
  "version": "v1.1"
}

m = Memory.from_config(config_dict=mem0_config)

m.add("Charlie likes apples.", user_id="alice")
m.add("Charlie likes baseball.", user_id="bob")

memories_alice = m.search("What dose Charlie like?", user_id="alice")
memories_bob = m.search("What dose Charlie like?", user_id="bob")

print(f"Alice: {memories_alice}\n")
print(f"Bob: {memories_bob}\n")

The execution result is as follows.

Alice: {'memories': [{'id': '308f199f-60c8-451e-a7a3-ae7113d47c06', 'memory': 'Likes apples', 'hash': '7bd8bc77c25090d92299e49beb3ef9cc', 'metadata': None, 'score': 0.25869718, 'created_at': '2024-09-03T21:00:42.388677-07:00', 'updated_at': '2024-09-03T21:03:58.727110-07:00', 'user_id': 'alice'}], 'entities': [{'source': 'charlie', 'relation': 'likes', 'destination': 'apples'}, {'source': 'charlie', 'relation': 'likes', 'destination': 'baseball'}]}

Bob: {'memories': [{'id': '85d68144-cfe6-4e4a-8121-54c0694ce2ab', 'memory': 'Likes baseball', 'hash': 'fdde4363cbbeee916d9c25e63a49e8b9', 'metadata': None, 'score': 0.29662642, 'created_at': '2024-09-03T21:00:37.055906-07:00', 'updated_at': '2024-09-03T21:04:06.556679-07:00', 'user_id': 'bob'}], 'entities': [{'source': 'charlie', 'relation': 'likes', 'destination': 'apples'}, {'source': 'charlie', 'relation': 'likes', 'destination': 'baseball'}]}

Here are the results I expect.

Alice: {'memories': [{'id': '308f199f-60c8-451e-a7a3-ae7113d47c06', 'memory': 'Likes apples', 'hash': '7bd8bc77c25090d92299e49beb3ef9cc', 'metadata': None, 'score': 0.25869718, 'created_at': '2024-09-03T21:00:42.388677-07:00', 'updated_at': '2024-09-03T21:03:58.727110-07:00', 'user_id': 'alice'}], 'entities': [{'source': 'charlie', 'relation': 'likes', 'destination': 'apples'}]}

Bob: {'memories': [{'id': '85d68144-cfe6-4e4a-8121-54c0694ce2ab', 'memory': 'Likes baseball', 'hash': 'fdde4363cbbeee916d9c25e63a49e8b9', 'metadata': None, 'score': 0.29662642, 'created_at': '2024-09-03T21:00:37.055906-07:00', 'updated_at': '2024-09-03T21:04:06.556679-07:00', 'user_id': 'bob'}], 'entities': [{'source': 'charlie', 'relation': 'likes', 'destination': 'baseball'}]}

Hi @nibankougen we knew about this issue and released a patch last week. Could you please upgrade your mem0 package? Let me know if you are still having this problem.

[nibankougen]

There is another problem with graph memory sometimes not registering, but the filtering by user_id was working.
Thank you very much.

by viewing the source code,

class MemoryGraph:
    def __init__(self, config):
        self.config = config
        self.graph = Neo4jGraph(self.config.graph_store.config.url, self.config.graph_store.config.username, self.config.graph_store.config.password)
        self.embedding_model = EmbedderFactory.create(
            self.config.embedder.provider, self.config.embedder.config
        )

        if self.config.llm.provider:
            llm_provider = self.config.llm.provider
        if self.config.graph_store.llm:
            llm_provider = self.config.graph_store.llm.provider
        else:
            llm_provider = "openai_structured"

        self.llm = LlmFactory.create(llm_provider, self.config.llm.config)
        self.user_id = None
        self.threshold = 0.7

You can see self.user_id = None
When you invoke m.add and set user_id param self.user_id will be change to your set user_id,
But m.search will not reset user_id

@chenm1xuexi I understand your concern. However, the user_id in the add call is used to create the source node. Why do you think resetting "user_id" matters for search?
