Replyke provides three semantic search hooks — one for content (entities, comments, messages), one for users, and one for spaces. All three return results ranked by semantic similarity to the query.

​
useSearchContent

Search across entities, comments, and chat messages. You can filter by sourceTypes to target only specific content types, or scope results to a specific space or conversation. 
import { useSearchContent } from "@replyke/react-js";

function ContentSearch() {
  const { results, loading, search, reset } = useSearchContent();

  const handleSearch = async () => {
    await search({
      query: "posts about TypeScript best practices",
      sourceTypes: ["entity"],
      limit: 10,
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleSearch}>Search</button>
      {results.map((r) => (
        <div key={r.record.id}>
          [{r.sourceType}] {r.record.id} — similarity: {r.similarity.toFixed(2)}
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}
