client.insert_document(
    collection="documents",
    id=1,
    vector=[0.1] * 384,
    payload={"title": "Hello World"}
)

# Search
results = client.search(
    collection="documents",
    vector=[0.1] * 384,
    top_k=5
)

for result in results:
    print(f"ID: {result['id']}, Score: {result['score']}")
