Getting Started with Searches.do: Your First Intelligent Data Query

Find Exactly What You Need: Intelligent Data Retrieval with Searches.do

In today's data-driven world, getting exactly the information you need, when you need it, can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Traditional data retrieval can be clunky, involving complex database queries or wrestling with multiple APIs. What if you could simplify all that? What if you could turn sophisticated data requests into simple, reusable agents, accessible via a single API call?

Enter Searches.do.

What is Searches.do? Your Platform for Intelligent Data Retrieval

Searches.do is designed to revolutionize how you interact with your data. It’s not just another data querying tool. It's an intelligent platform that allows you to define, manage, and execute complex searches as simple, reusable agent workflows. Think of it as creating highly specialized "data retrieval bots," each tailored to fetch specific information from your systems.

This means you can:

• Define precise data retrieval operations.
• Manage them effortlessly as reusable agents.
• Execute them with a single, clean API call.

The Power of Reusability: Beyond Basic Queries

Imagine needing to find a customer by their email, query a product by its SKU, or fetch a user's recent activity. Rather than writing ad-hoc code every time, or building out custom endpoints for each specific need, Searches.do lets you create an "agent" for each of these tasks. These agents then become building blocks for your applications, ensuring consistency, reducing development time, and simplifying maintenance.

It’s about making complex data tasks as simple as calling a function.

Your First Intelligent Data Query: A Practical Example

Let's dive into how simple it is to define an intelligent search agent with Searches.do. We’ll look at a common scenario: finding a customer by their email address.

import { Search } from 'searches.do';

const customerSearch = new Search({
  name: 'Find Customer By Email',
  description: 'Locates customer records by email address',
  parameters: {
    email: { type: 'string', format: 'email', required: true }
  },
  handler: async ({ email }) => {
    // Implementation details
    const results = await queryDatabase({
      collection: 'customers',
      filter: { email },
      limit: 1
    });
    return results[0] || null;
  }
});

Let's break this down:

1. import { Search } from 'searches.do';: You start by importing the Search class from the searches.do library.
2. name: 'Find Customer By Email': Gives your search agent a clear, descriptive name.
3. description: 'Locates customer records by email address': Provides a summary of what the agent does, useful for documentation and understanding.
4. parameters: { email: { type: 'string', format: 'email', required: true } }: This is where the "intelligent" part really shines. You define the expected inputs for your search. Here, we specify that an email parameter is required, that it must be a string, and that it should be in email format. This built-in validation ensures clean and structured inputs.
5. handler: async ({ email }) => { ... }: This is the core logic of your search agent. It's an asynchronous function that receives the validated parameters (in this case, email). Inside the handler, you write the actual code to retrieve the data. This could be:
   • Querying a database (as shown in the example queryDatabase).
   • Calling an external API.
   • Performing complex data transformations.

Once defined, this customerSearch agent can be invoked via a simple API call, abstracting away the underlying database query complexity.

Benefits of Using Searches.do

• Simplified API Access: Turn complex internal logic into easy-to-consume API endpoints.
• Enhanced Reusability: Define your searches once, use them everywhere.
• Structured Inputs: Parameter definitions ensure data quality and provide built-in validation.
• Automated Workflows: Create robust data retrieval workflows for various applications.
• Reduced Development Time: Focus on what data you need, not how to get it every time.
• Scalability: Easily manage and deploy a growing library of specialized search agents.
