appbaseio/reactivesearch-api 8.11.0

on GitHub

Enhancements

8.11.0 release includes AI support for performing KNN search and Question Answering, and includes bug fixes related to analytics tracking and time reporting.

Built with with Go 1.19.7.

Adds support for OpenAI embeddings stage to perform vectorization at index and query time

How it works:

• Using the OpenAIEmbeddingsIndex stage, add embeddings at index time specifying the fields to use for vectorization, an extra vector field is added to your search index
• At query time, perform embedding using the OpenAIEmbeddings stage and then do a kNN search to retrieve the search results

Adds support for AIAnswer for both pipelines and ReactiveSearch API

How it works:

• When enabled, based on the user search request, the BE generates an AI session
• End-users can ask follow-up questions

ReactiveSearch UI components AIAnswer and SearchBox allow for building a chat interface for Search UIs. An example UI is here: https://codesandbox.io/s/github/awesome-reactivesearch/q-n-a-search-ui/tree/main/

Other Enhancements

• Returns both the took time (total time for ReactiveSearch) and searchTime keys (search engine's total time) in a ReactiveSearch query response. Earlier, took time represented searchTime, having took represent the entire time ReactiveSearch takes to resolve a client request including running its middlewares, logging, analytics and search engine communication is a better reflection of the latency for the search UIs using ReactiveSearch
• Adds support for a select actionType for SearchBox. This enables setting curated suggestions for SearchBox.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes a bug with synonym support where synonyms were pointer assigned instead of being distinctly copied when cloning data from an existing index
• Fixes a bug with syncing of variables in pipelines and rules APIs in a HA (multi-node) setup
• Fixes a bug with pipeline where a user-defined stage returns a nil value
• Fixes a bug with tracking of analytics after shifting the base image to Go 1.19
