Is it possible to use this query without a built-in text2vec module enabled? my project does not allow queries to be sent for processing outside. Thanks

Hi!

In order to use near\_text, you will need a configured vectorize, so Weavaite will be able to vectorize your query in order to query the vector space.

For that, you can use the text2vec-transformers and change the container model inferece to use your own module:

> **[text2vec-transformers | Weaviate - Vector Database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/modules/retriever-vectorizer-modules/text2vec-transformers)**

Here is the container repo:

Let me know if that helps 🙂
