Support for searching with query image #27

Open nuschandra opened 1 day ago

Hi @bclavie & team,

I currently don't see support for searching through an index with a query image instead of a text query. I understand that there is an encode_image option but that only provides the embeddings of the query image and not a full search through the indexed documents along with maxsim calculations. It would be really nice to have support for querying with an image too.

@bclavie If you think that this would be a useful feature, I'd be happy to contribute and raise a PR for the same.
