[BUG] image search in the example code does not work as expected

[barney2074]

Hi,

I'm just following the steps in https://docs.marqo.ai/latest/examples/marqo/image-search/

• At Step 3 (adding images to the Index), I get the below error (I'm running the Docker/Open Source in Python- so Marqo version 2.12.0)
• The add_documents method seems to work ok- but possibly the error is in the response ??
• Not a big deal- but noticed a typo in the index name for the cURL option in this step of the same tutorial

thanks for the tutorials- they are useful

Hello @barney2074 , sorry for taking so long to respond. I wasn't able to reproduce this issue on the latest image. Could you give the latest image 2.13.1 a try and see if you still have this issue.

This issue might be related to the pymarqo version you use. Could you also upgrade the pymarqo to the latest version Please? Thanks a lot.

Hi @papa99do

that seems to have fixed it, thanks
A question if I may: although the image search queries seem to get the best match, there is very little variation in the scores

For example, in this tutorial- the search "A rider on a horse jumping over the barrier" gets the best image at a score of 58%, but other images which have noting to do with the search term still get scores >50%

I would have expected much more variation in the scores e.g a positive would be much higher, and a completely different image would have a much lower score

Is this to be expected ?
