Query multiple docs by ID

[pylipp]

As a follow-up to #329 , how can I query for multiple docs using their IDs? Like

doc_ids = [1, 2, 5]
db.search(doc_ids=doc_ids)

db.get(doc_id) exists but only for a single document. I could iterate over the list of doc IDs yet this might not be as efficient.

That's interesting! Maybe we can make db.get() support a list of document IDs as doc_id (similar to .remove() does – altough it does have a doc_ids instead of doc_id). I'll have to think about that!

Hi!

I find that in the doc string of get, it says:

Get exactly one document specified by a query or a document ID.

Plus, get already has a parameter doc_id, whilst search doesn't have a similar parameter and returns a list.

I think search(doc_ids=doc_ids) is more reasonable and feels unified.

I plan to implement this feature and want to know why you prefer modifying get.

И как в итоге получить записи по списку doc_id? Не получается использовать в search массив из doc_ids

I would like to bump this feature request as I have a use-case for it.
