React-Search

Vectara has introduced an open-source React-Search component designed to seamlessly integrate Vectara's semantic search functionality into React applications with minimal coding effort. By incorporating this component, developers can easily add a polished search user interface that works across various screen sizes, offering users a streamlined experience with features like a search modal accessible via a keyboard shortcut. The component returns search results that are the closest semantic matches, displaying them in a scrollable list with titles and context sentences for better content understanding. Developers can integrate this by adding the @vectara/react-search NPM dependency and configuring it with essential details like corpus ID and API key. As part of its roadmap, Vectara plans to release a "useSearch" React hook for greater customization and is actively seeking user feedback to refine and expand its features, including customization of result presentation and search across multiple corpora. The project encourages community involvement through its open-source nature, inviting contributions and feedback via its GitHub repository.
