### Description I am using Weaviate Hybrid query and I have nested properties in my schema. I want to pass it to the query\_properties in hybrid query but it just gives error weaviate.exceptions.WeaviateQueryError: Query call with protocol GRPC search failed with message object search at index collection\_name: local shard object search collection\_name: Searching by property ‘abc.xyz’ requires inverted index. Is `indexSearchable` option of property ‘abc.xyz’ enabled? Set it to `true` or leave empty. ```python response = collection.query.hybrid( query=query_text, limit=top_k, alpha=alpha, return_properties=actual_return_properties, return_metadata=metadata_query, filters=weaviate_filters, query_properties=['a', 'b','abc.xyz'] ) ``` I have added indexSearchable and still it gives me this error. Is anyone facing the same issue? Any help would be appreciated ---

hi @Dhruvam !! Welcome to our community 🤗 If you note in our docs, there are some limitations for objects datatype: > **[Property data types | Weaviate Documentation](https://docs.weaviate.io/weaviate/config-refs/datatypes#object)** > > Weaviate schema data types reference for defining object properties and field specifications. For instance: ```auto Currently, object and object[] datatype properties are not indexed and not vectorized. Future plans include the ability to index nested properties, for example to allow for filtering on nested properties and vectorization options. ``` Let me know if this helps! ---

Oh Thank You!! Just wanted to know if there is any other way to fetch object array datatype values in python. Surely it will help me a lot. Or is there any work around regarding that? ---

Oh, you can fetch them, but not use the to filter/search, like in `query_properties=['a', 'b','abc.xyz']` ---

During creation of nested properties for object array, do i need to mention “skip\_vectorisation“ for them or it will take it automatically?? ---

I don’t believe it’s necessary, as it will not be used to vectorize. Maybe in the future it get’s vectorized. ---

Hey - we will start vectorizing objects in 1.33 but ONLY if: - you are using named vectors (recommended), eg are creating your vectors using `wvc.config.Configure.Vectors.XXX` - explicitly add them via your source properties ``wvc.config.Configure.Vectors`.text2vec\_XXX(source\_properties=[“prop1”, “prop2”])`
