Unable to retrieve the similarity scoring on retreived search result?

[maryannc]

@Umesh_Narayanan

Hello

i am trying to get the similarity score on the search result
below is the result fetching structure

result = collection.query.near_text(

```
query=query,

limit=3,  # number of results

return_properties=\["chunk", "page", "source"\],

distance=True
```

)

)

for obj in result.objects:

```
score = obj.metadata.score

print(score)
```

but the score return None

My need to get the score on result to determine if the score is good enough to feed into the LLM/Prompting

Any help?

Hi @Umesh_Narayanan ,

Good Day!

Welcome to Weaviate Community!

As you are using near_text or pure vector searching, the result will include a distance value, not a score. If you would like to obtain score as a result, this is available when using hybrid search or BM25

Hope this helps.
