# Improve the Chroma get() method by adding the optional "include"
parameter.
The Chroma get() method excludes embeddings by default. You can
customize the response by specifying the "include" parameter to
selectively retrieve the desired data from the collection.

Technically a duplicate fix to #1619 but with unit tests and a small
documentation update
- Propagate `filter` arg in Chroma `similarity_search` to delegated call
to `similarity_search_with_score`
- Add `filter` arg to `similarity_search_by_vector`
- Clarify doc strings on FakeEmbeddings
This PR adds persistence to the Chroma vector store.
Users can supply a `persist_directory` with any of the `Chroma` creation
methods. If supplied, the store will be automatically persisted at that
directory.
If a user creates a new `Chroma` instance with the same persistence
directory, it will get loaded up automatically. If they use `from_texts`
or `from_documents` in this way, the documents will be loaded into the
existing store.
There is the chance of some funky behavior if the user passes a
different embedding function from the one used to create the collection
- we will make this easier in future updates. For now, we log a warning.
Chroma is a simple to use, open-source, zero-config, zero setup
vectorstore.
Simply `pip install chromadb`, and you're good to go.
Out-of-the-box Chroma is suitable for most LangChain workloads, but is
highly flexible. I tested to 1M embs on my M1 mac, with out issues and
reasonably fast query times.
Look out for future releases as we integrate more Chroma features with
LangChain!
