SearchFiltersInput

When we ingest content, we add metadata to the content that is filterable in our search and chat APIs.

For example, if you have multiple products or version your product, you can “scope” the search results if you know the product or product version that the user is interested in.

This might be based on:

  • the URL the user is viewing
  • a product or version picker in your docs or chat UX
  • in-app context you have about the user, like which products or versions they use

By default, we label source documents with a product and product version if it can be inferred from your HTML or URL structure.

If you use our ingestion APIs, you can add your own ‘attributes’ that are filterable to the source documents and create your own filter queries based on that.

PropertyTypeDescription
productStringThe product name. Used to scope the response to content relevant to a specific product.
productVersionStringThe product version name. Used to scope the response to content relevant to a specific product version.
sourceIdsStringThe source IDs.
attributesJSONThe attributes.
limitIntThe maximum number of search results to return. Defaults to 40.

​
Filter attributes

Our attributes filtering schema is based on MongoDB’s query and projection operators. We currently support $in, $not, $and and $or operators or conditions.

The attributes value should be valid within this schema. See an example below

{
  "attributes": {
    "$and": [
      { "env": "production" },
      { "modules": { "$in": ["module1", "module2"] } }
    ]
  }
}

Note that all filters are assumed to follow $and and by exclusive by default, unless using the $or operator.

That is, sources not meeting those filters will not be used in the chat response.

​
Filtering by URLs

You can filter by the URLs by using the recordUrlsByRegex and recordUrlsByExact patterns as illustrated below.

{
  "attributes": {
    "$and": [
      {
        "recordUrlsByRegex": {
          "$in": [".*inkeep.*"]
        }
      },
      {
        "recordUrlsByExact": {
          "$in": ["https://www.inkeep.com/product/1.0"]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
