Recommend, Discover, and Context queries compute synthetic sigmoid scores where higher is always better (Direction.MAXIMIZE). In LocalCollection.search(), the sorting order correctly treats these queries as bigger-is-better regardless of the metric. However, the score_threshold filter check previously branched solely on required_order (derived from the metric), causing queries on Euclid or Manhattan collections to incorrectly compare score > score_threshold and break immediately on the first candidate.

This assigns bigger_is_better to encapsulate the unified order condition and uses it for both sorting and score_threshold evaluation.

Fixes #1370.

Walkthrough

LocalCollection.search now computes the effective bigger-is-better ordering once and reuses it for sorting and score_threshold filtering. In-memory tests cover EUCLID recommendation and context queries, MANHATTAN discovery queries, and multivector recommendation, discovery, and context queries.

🟡 Minor · Add direct threshold coverage for the multi-query types. · tests/test_in_memory.py:299-416

299-416: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add direct threshold coverage for the multi-query types. The new tests cover only single-vector query paths. Existing test_discover_euclidean indirectly checks multi-discovery ordering, but existing multivector tests do not pass score_threshold; context results are sorted by ID before comparison. Add score-threshold cases for MultiRecoQuery, MultiDiscoveryQuery, and MultiContextQuery to protect the synthetic-score cutoff for each branch.

Assert all qualifying Context results. The EUCLID Context fixture produces multiple candidates at the top score. The current count and per-point score assertions can pass when one qualifying result is omitted. Compare the filtered IDs with {p.id for p in no_threshold if p.score >= mid_threshold}.

…euclid/manhattan

Recommend, Discover, and Context queries compute synthetic sigmoid scores where higher is always better (Direction.MAXIMIZE). In LocalCollection.search(), the sorting order correctly treats these queries as bigger-is-better regardless of the metric. However, the score_threshold filter check previously branched solely on required_order (derived from the metric), causing queries on Euclid or Manhattan collections to incorrectly compare score > score_threshold and break immediately on the first candidate.

This assigns bigger_is_better to encapsulate the unified order condition and uses it for both sorting and score_threshold evaluation.

Includes full TDD coverage in tests/test_in_memory.py for RecommendQuery, DiscoverQuery, ContextQuery, and all multivector query variants with exact candidate ID assertions.

Fixes qdrant#1370.
