maxVectorDistance support

[databyjp]

The TS client does not yet seem to have support for the recently added maxVectorDistance hybrid search parameter.

I would also be interested in this as I am implementing hybrid search with move to and move away. I've seen that maxVectorDistance helps with returning more relevant results especially with ranked fusion enabled.

I will be shipping this later this week in v3.3.2 @michael-pont 😁

Awesome, thanks 👍 I'm testing out the vector search params move to and move away right now. Do you happen to know what the force params mean? I've played around with it and it seems like it's a reward / penalty but the documentation in hybrid search doesn't explain it in detail

Hi @michael-pont yes. It's exactly as you mentioned - a weighting to be applied.

It's documented here, sorry about that.

I will work on adding the info to the concepts page here:
