client

Search extension client. Reads delegate to the registered AppKit-compatible aiSearch provider; this module owns federated fan-out and the Vector Search lifecycle APIs AppKit does not expose.

client.search(query, opts) searches the default index; client.index(name) returns a handle bound to one index; client.universalSearch(query) fans a query across several indexes and merges the results (Meilisearch’s federated / multi-search, the “universal search” the caller asked for). Everything is async and cancellable and returns the browser-safe shapes from @dbx-tools/shared-search. Lifecycle methods cross AppKit’s explicit legacy client handoff because the public facade does not yet expose index creation, sync, or deletion.

Autocomplete is just a search with a small limit and the raw query text - hybrid mode already prefix-matches, so no separate endpoint is needed; the SearchIndex.autocomplete helper is a thin, self-documenting alias.
