Querying Document IDs in Typesense Using Firebase Extension

TLDR Vera was having trouble querying document IDs in Typesense. Jason suggested including it explicitly in the collection schema in Typesense.

I’m using the Firebase extension to link Typesense to my Firestore database. I notice that Document IDs are stored in Typesense, but I cant seem to query by them. Maybe Typesense isn’t the solution here, but one application I have is to turn a list of Document IDs into a list of the other associated fields in the Typesense cluster. I’m using Typesense in more traditional ways as well, but I was wondering if something like this would be possible

Vera if you want to query by id, you’d need to also include it explicitly in the collection schema in Typesense.
