How do I add metadata that does not require an index?

I have a few properties that I want to be retrieved alongside the queries but I will not use them for filtering or any type of search. How do I tell that to pinecone?

You’ll want to specify the metadata_config when you are creating an index. By default all metadata is indexed. Specify the fields to explicitly index them.

create_index(
...
metadata_config={"indexed": ["example_metadata_field"]} 
)
