Qdrant supports sparse vectors, which are vectors with a large number of zeroes.

We can take advantage of this property to index vector in a specialized way, which allows to save space and speed up search.

The underlying index is an inverted index, which stores the list of vectors for each non-zero dimension.

The underlying structure is an inverted index, which stores the list of vectors for each non-zero dimension.
|

|

Upon search, the index is used to find the list of vectors that have non-zero values in the query dimensions.
|

Then, the vectors are scored using the dot product.

There are optimizations in place to reduce the number of vectors to score for dimensions with a large number of vectors.

The sparse vector index supports filtering by payload fields, which allows to use it in combination with the payload index.

Similar to dense vectors, the sparse vector index supports filtering by payload fields, which allows to use it in combination with indexed payload fields.

Similar to the dense vector, it is possible configure `full_scan_threshold` to control when to drive the search from the payload index to decrease the number of vectors to score.

There are however important differences between dense and sparse vector search:
|
||||
- only `Dot` metric is supported for sparse vectors (no need to specify it in the request)
|
||||
- the search is not approximate, it is always returning the exact match
|
||||
- it returns only the vectors which have non-zero values in the same indices as the query vector, for this reason, you can can receive less than `limit` results.

In general, the speed of the search is proportional to the number of non-zero values in the query vector.
