Parameterized Perfection: Building Dynamic Search Agents with Searches.do

In today's data-driven landscape, the ability to quickly and accurately retrieve information is paramount. Stale, static searches simply don't cut it. You need a way to ask dynamic, specific questions of your data, regardless of where it lives. This is where Searches.do shines, especially with its powerful parameterized search capabilities.

Searches.do is not just another search tool; it's a platform for intelligent data retrieval. It allows you to create and deploy searchable "Agents" that can query any connected data source – databases, APIs, files, and more. Think of an Agent as a dedicated data expert, trained to answer a specific question about your data.

But the true intelligence emerges when you empower these Agents with parameters. This is where you move beyond simple, predefined searches and enable dynamic, user-driven queries.

Why Parameterized Searches are Essential

Imagine trying to find a specific customer record buried in a massive database. A static search for "customer" will yield overwhelming and unhelpful results. A parameterized search, however, allows you to define exactly what you're looking for: "Find the customer with the email address jane.doe@example.com."

This is the power of parameters. They allow you to:

• Refine Results: Narrow down your search to only the data that is relevant to your immediate need.
• Enable Specific Queries: Ask precise questions about your data instead of relying on broad keywords.
• Automate Data Retrieval: Trigger parameterized searches programmatically from your applications.
• Improve User Experience: Provide a more intuitive and efficient way for users to find the information they need.

Building Dynamic Search Agents with Parameters in Searches.do

Searches.do makes building parameterized Agents incredibly straightforward. Let's look at a simple example using the provided TypeScript code:

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:

• name and description: Clearly define what this Agent does.
• parameters: This is the key. We define a parameter named email with a specified type (string) and format (email) to ensure valid input. marking it as required ensures that this parameter must be provided when the search is triggered.
• handler: This is the core logic of your Agent. It receives the provided parameters (in this case, { email }) and uses them to perform the actual data retrieval from your connected source (here, querying a database).

With this Agent defined, you can now trigger a search for a customer by providing their email address:

const foundCustomer = await searches.do.trigger('Find Customer By Email', { email: 'john.doe@example.com' });

This is just a simple illustration. You can define multiple parameters of various types (strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, etc.) to create highly sophisticated and dynamic search Agents.

Beyond the Basics: What You Can Search

Searches.do's power lies in its flexibility. Your Agents' handler can connect to virtually any data source. This means you can build parameterized searches for:

• Databases: Query specific records based on IDs, date ranges, status, etc.
• APIs: Retrieve information from external services based on user input.
• Cloud Storage: Find specific files within buckets based on filename, metadata, etc.
• Internal Systems: Access data from your CRM, ERP, or other internal tools.
• Structured Documents: Search within documents based on content or properties.

Integrate and Scale

Searches.do provides a simple API and SDK, making it easy to integrate your parameterized searches into your existing applications. Trigger searches from your website, mobile app, or internal workflows. The platform is designed for scalability, handling high volumes of search requests across numerous Agents.

AI without Complexity

Searches.do embodies the principle of "AI without Complexity." You don't need to be a data science expert to build intelligent search capabilities. Define your Agents, specify your parameters, and let Searches.do handle the rest, providing you with the exact data you need, when you need it.
