@dbx-tools/shared-search

Browser-safe schemas and extension types for AppKit-compatible AI Search providers.

Import this package when a UI, Mastra tool schema, server route, or test needs to validate the same search payloads that @dbx-tools/search reads and writes.

Key features:

• Shared SearchRequest / SearchResult contract with { id, score, fields } hits, so an autocomplete box, a docs lookup, and a Mastra tool speak one shape.
• SearchMode (hybrid / vector / keyword) plus toAiSearchQueryType() for the AppKit query vocabulary.
• UniversalSearchRequest for federated search across several indexes at once.
• SearchDocument / UpsertResult for adding and updating direct-access index contents.
• SearchIndexInfo / SearchClientConfig for the boot-time index catalogue a search box reads with no server round-trip.
• Model/tool-friendly schemas that avoid JSON Schema constraints known to cause problems with some serving endpoints.

Validate A Search Request

import { search, type SearchRequest } from "@dbx-tools/shared-search";

const request: SearchRequest = search.searchRequestSchema.parse({
  query: "reset my password",
  index: "main.support.docs",
  limit: 5,
  mode: "hybrid",
  filter: { locale: "en", category: ["billing", "support"] },
});

Validate Search Results

const result = search.searchResultSchema.parse(await response.json());
for (const hit of result.hits) {
  console.log(hit.score, hit.id, hit.fields.title);
}

searchHitSchema returns the requested columns under fields, keyed by column name, plus the primary-key id and a relevance score. A federated hit also carries the index it came from.

Read The Index Catalogue

const config = search.searchClientConfigSchema.parse(
  await fetch("/api/search/indexes").then((r) => r.json()),
);

searchClientConfigSchema is the extension catalogue for universal search. Single-index UI queries read native aiSearch client config instead.

Module

• search - searchModeSchema, searchRequestSchema, searchHitSchema, searchResultSchema, universalSearchRequestSchema, searchDocumentSchema, upsertResultSchema, searchIndexInfoSchema, searchClientConfigSchema, and toAiSearchQueryType, the flat inferred types (SearchMode, SearchRequest, SearchHit, SearchResult, UniversalSearchRequest, SearchDocument, UpsertResult, SearchIndexInfo, SearchClientConfig).

Runtime search, index management, the Mastra tools, and the AppKit plugin live in @dbx-tools/search. The React search box lives in @dbx-tools/ui-search.
