        Args:
            query: Text to look up documents similar to.

            offset:
                Offset of the first result to return.
                May be used to paginate results.
                Note: large offset values may cause performance issues.
            score_threshold:
                Define a minimal score threshold for the result.
                If defined, less similar results will not be returned.
                Score of the returned result might be higher or smaller than the
                threshold depending on the Distance function used.
                E.g. for cosine similarity only higher scores will be returned.
            consistency:
                Read consistency of the search. Defines how many replicas should be
                queried before returning the result.
                Values:
                - int - number of replicas to query, values should present in all
                        queried replicas

                               majority of replicas
                - 'quorum' - query the majority of replicas, return values present in
                             all of them
