Description

Description

Currently, Qdrant supports structured filtering through conditions like Match, Range, MatchAny, and others. However, there is no support for regex-based filtering, which could be highly beneficial for users who need to perform pattern matching within payload data.

Proposed Implementation

Introduce a new filter condition (e.g., MatchRegex) that accepts a regex pattern. The implementation could leverage existing regex libraries in supported programming languages to ensure compatibility and performance.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing Match, Range, and MatchAny filter conditions and how payload filtering is represented in Qdrant. Determine the API, supported regex library, compatibility and performance requirements, then add coverage demonstrating regex matching and non-matching payloads; the issue is complete when the new condition is consistently supported and tested.
