### Feature
Using FAISS on a retrievalQA task, I found myself wanting to allow in
multiple sources. From what I understood, the filter feature takes in a
dict of form {key: value} which then will check in the metadata for the
exact value linked to that key.
I added some logic to be able to pass a list which will be checked
against instead of an exact value. Passing an exact value will also
work.
Here's an example of how I could then use it in my own project:
```
pdfs_to_filter_in = ["file_A", "file_B"]
filter_dict = {
"source": [f"source_pdfs/{pdf_name}.pdf" for pdf_name in pdfs_to_filter_in]
}
retriever = db.as_retriever()
retriever.search_kwargs = {"filter": filter_dict}
```
I added an integration test based on the other ones I found in
`tests/integration_tests/vectorstores/test_faiss.py` under
`test_faiss_with_metadatas_and_list_filter()`.
It doesn't feel like this is worthy of its own notebook or doc, but I'm
open to suggestions if needed.
