I’m running into a very strange issue: Our collection contains nearly 30,000 records. When I perform a `near_vector` query **with a filter** that matches a specific condition, it correctly returns one record (let’s call it Record A), and its certainty score is 0.99 (, actually the same vector). However, if I run the **same** `near_vector` query **without any filter** , even with `limit=1000`, Record A doesn’t appear in the results at all—the 1000th result only has a certainty around 0.87. Is this a bug? The code is: ```auto rslt = await collection.query.near_vector( filters=filters, near_vector=same_vector, certainty=0, limit=1000, offset=0, return_metadata=MetadataQuery(distance=True, certainty=True, score=True) ) ``` The collection info ```auto { "class": "PtAi_embedding_39fa06cf_4178_e8bc_8172_9869630559c1_productsSpPicNew", "invertedIndexConfig": { "bm25": { "b": 0.75, "k1": 1.2

hi @Charlie_Chen ! Can you share the filters you are using? A common mistake that can lead to this behavior is filtering on a word tokenized property expecting it to behave like a filter tokenized property. Check here more about tokenization in Weaviate: [Configure tokenization for keyword search | Weaviate Documentation](https://docs.weaviate.io/weaviate/tutorials/tokenization) Thanks! ---

Actually, I’m not using any filter at all. I’ve simplified my code for clarity. here it is: ```python # the vector was copied from the weaviate using curl

I also tried setting `limit` to 50,000 (even though the collection only contains 29,155 objects), but `near_vector` returned only 26,576 results—missing about 3,000 records—and the expected item was still not among them. ---

Hi @Charlie_Chen !! Can you re ingest this dataset in a new collection or cluster? If this fixes it, it may be an indexing issue 🤔 The way it is, I cannot reproduce it as I do not have the dataset. So this could test eliminate indexing issues. Or, can you reproduce this issue with a dataset that can be shared on a brand new weaviate on latest version? And finally, the latest patch for 1.33 is 1.33.16, can you try upgrading to this last version an check if issue persists? Thanks! ---

Thanks, @DudaNogueira I’ll try the latest patch 1.33.16 firstly. And if it dose not work, is there a convenient way to ingest this dataset in a new collection for 29,155 objects ? ---

You can use this as a guide, and migrate a collection to the same cluster, triggering the reindex: [Migrate data | Weaviate Documentation](https://docs.weaviate.io/weaviate/manage-collections/migrate) ---

I have upgraded to 1.33.16. Sadly, it still doesn’t work. I’ll try re ingest later. But if re ingest fixes the issue, how can I avoid this problem in the future? And if it’s still not working, are there any other ways I can try to resolve it? ---

If re ingesting fixes, then we will need to dig deeper to understand what went wrong. From experience, it can happen if it runs out of disk, or other event that can corrupt some index in some edge cases. If it doesn’t, then we can try reproducing this with some synthetic data so we can raise an issue 🙂 Thanks!
