Exception in chat.py due to maximal_marginal_relevance Invalid Argument in DeepLake Similarity Search

[Mike Nakhimovich]

Howdy! I was going through the readme, all was well until I got to the step of doing a search.

Describe the bug
An uncaught exception occurs in the chat.py module when executing a similarity search through the DeepLake vector store. The traceback indicates that the maximal_marginal_relevance argument is not a valid parameter for the search method. This results in a failure of the search_db function, impacting the chat application's ability to process and respond to user inputs.

Set up the environment and dependencies as per the project requirements.
Run the chat application using the command:python src/main.py chat --activeloop-dataset-name my-dataset.
Input a query that triggers the search_db function, for example "what are the apis of the project"
The application throws the exception and terminates.
Expected behavior
The expected behavior is for the application to successfully process the query and return relevant results without crashing. The maximal_marginal_relevance argument should either be correctly handled or removed if it's not applicable to the similarity search method in the DeepLake vector store.
