Expected behaviour of retrieval when using a single query with a line break?

[kgourgou]

A colleague discovered this line in DSPy that is a bit sus.

queries = [query.strip().split("\n")[0].strip() for query in queries]

https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/332d4c31cf9f101682e386fb488c56a724b4239d/dspy/retrieve/retrieve.py#L70C9-L70C78

What is the expected behaviour here when we have something like queries=['Hello\n can I have some RAG help?']? Because of the above line, DSPy will remap the list to

queries = ['Hello']

which would then impact retrieval.

Hey @kgourgou ! Good catch. This is worth fixing as part of #1739

Thanks for raising this @kgourgou ! As we migrate to using the dspy.Retriever interface in #1739 , we will support custom retriever composability to avoid such hard-coded behavior!
