  BM25 scoring is not enabled for term set queries. As a result, the scores
  returned may not be accurate.

<Note>
  For most use cases, we recommend using the [term
  set](/documentation/full-text/term#term-set) query instead.

Matches documents containing any term from a specified set.

```sql SQL
SELECT description, rating, category
FROM mock_items
WHERE description @@@ pdb.term_set(ARRAY['shoes', 'keyboard']);
```

```python Django
from paradedb import ParadeDB, TermSet

MockItem.objects.filter(
    description=ParadeDB(TermSet('shoes', 'keyboard'))
).values('description', 'rating', 'category')
```

```ruby Rails
MockItem.search(:description)
        .term_set("shoes", "keyboard")
        .select(:description, :rating, :category)
```

`pdb.term_set` is equivalent to `OR`ing together multiple `pdb.term` queries.
