Description

Concerning Qdrant server:

I'm currently trying to replace client.search() with client.search_groups() in my application. I want to retrieve text documents based on vector similarity and I would like to have the ability to return all chunks of the concerneed documents (long documents were split into multiple chunks). The method search_groups() seems like the perfect solution, however a qdrant_client.http.exceptions.ResponseHandlingException: timed out exception is now always raised.

The collection has approximately 10 million vectors. Running client.search() works perfectly. Is client.search_groups() this much more expensive to compute, and therefore times out? Any ideas to workaround this? Thanks.

Research direction

Start with the client.search_groups() entry point and compare its behavior with client.search() against the reported collection of approximately 10 million vectors. Determine whether the timeout is expected for grouped search and identify a documented workaround or needed client change.
