The SDK search pages in this section cover the client-side APIs for finding posts and communities. Keep the mental model simple: search is requested through SDK repository methods, filters narrow the search scope, and the backend returns ranked results.
Semantic search availability depends on your network configuration. Confirm that the feature is enabled for your network before building UI that depends on semantic search results.For Flutter, semantic post and community search are available from amity_sdk 7.8.7.

Notes

  • Do not assume a fixed client-visible scoring formula. The SDK APIs return ranked collections, but ranking details are owned by the backend service.
  • Debounce user-entered queries before starting a new search request.
  • Keep empty, loading, and error states separate in your UI because search results may legitimately be empty.
  • Dispose live collection subscriptions and notification tokens when the screen is destroyed.
  • The SDK exposes semantic search for both posts and communities. Current Android, iOS, and Flutter UIKit global-search screens use semantic search for posts, while their community tabs use keyword search; use the SDK community repository when you need semantic community discovery in UIKit.
