📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation replaces the conversational search section with agentic search. It adds AI SDK and Chats API guides, adds agentic search how-to pages, removes legacy conversational search pages, and updates navigation, redirects, and cross-references. ChangesAgentic Search Documentation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds and rewrites agentic-search documentation, but several copied examples can fail or mislead users, including incorrect AI SDK configuration, incomplete tool-call responses, fragile streamed argument handling, and incomplete fallback guidance. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/advanced/chats_api.mdx`:
- Around line 322-330: Update the streaming tool-call handling around
pendingToolCalls to accumulate argument fragments by toolCall.index, preserving
separate buffers when calls are interleaved. Invoke the source-correlation
handler only after each tool call’s arguments are complete, so the initial
empty-arguments chunk is not parsed; apply this correction at the anchor site
capabilities/agentic_search/advanced/chats_api.mdx lines 322-330 and sibling
site capabilities/agentic_search/advanced/chats_api.mdx lines 847-867.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/getting_started.mdx`:
- Line 68: Update the prompt engineering link in the getting-started content to
use the valid /capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/optimize_chat_prompts
destination, leaving the surrounding guidance and other links unchanged.
- Around line 86-89: Update the chatbot sample around the streamText call to
declare persistent messages state, append each user message before invoking
streamText, and append the resulting assistant and tool messages afterward.
Ensure the messages variable is initialized and maintained across turns so the
copied sample is minimal and runnable.
- Around line 56-61: Update the meilisearchSearch configuration in
capabilities/agentic_search/getting_started.mdx lines 56-61 and
getting_started/integrations/ai_sdk.mdx lines 40-45 to read the runtime
environment variables MEILISEARCH_HOST and MEILISEARCH_API_KEY instead of
literal placeholders, using those exact variable names consistently in both
pages.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/configure_guardrails.mdx`:
- Around line 23-29: Correct the duplicated word in the system prompt value
within the generateText example so the sample uses the intended single
occurrence of “here” and remains runnable.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/display_source_documents.mdx`:
- Around line 23-29: Update the AI SDK examples using streamText,
convertToModelMessages, and MultipleSources so convertToModelMessages(messages)
is awaited, streamText includes stopWhen with stepCountIs(...) to allow the
search tool result to be processed, and MultipleSources flattens message parts
via messages.flatMap((message) => message.parts) rather than accessing parts on
the messages array.
- Around line 41-45: Update the streamText call to configure a multi-step tool
loop with the appropriate AI SDK step-limit helper, using stepCountIs(5) for SDK
v5 or isStepCount(5) for the current API, so the search tool can complete before
final response generation.
Apply the same fix in
`@capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/display_source_documents.mdx` around lines
137 - 148: The same sample incorrectly accesses `parts` directly on the messages
array.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/handle_errors_and_fallbacks.mdx`:
- Around line 176-185: Update trimConversation so its returned array never
exceeds maxMessages: retain the system messages, reserve their capacity, and
slice otherMessages to the remaining available count. Preserve the existing fast
path when messages already fit and ensure the code sample remains runnable.
- Around line 3-6: Update the frontmatter description and introductory text in
the error-handling guide to replace remaining “Conversational search”
terminology with “Agentic search,” while preserving the existing meaning and
links.
- Around line 86-89: Update the chat function’s non-fallback return branches so
every return value includes the boolean fallback property set to false, keeping
fallback responses set to true and allowing searchWithFallback to access
chatResponse.fallback consistently.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/overview.mdx`:
- Line 54: Update the autonomy guidance sentence to use “looser control allows”
and replace both “e.g.” instances with “for example,” preserving the existing
examples and meaning.
- Line 13: Update the sentence around the links to system prompt engineering and
guardrails so it does not guarantee responses are grounded in indexed data;
replace “ensure” with qualified wording such as “help keep” or “reduce the
chance that,” while preserving the existing meaning and links.
In `@capabilities/full_text_search/overview.mdx`:
- Line 18: Update the visible link labels after the route migration: in
capabilities/full_text_search/overview.mdx:18-18,
capabilities/hybrid_search/advanced/semantic_vs_hybrid.mdx:43-43, and
capabilities/hybrid_search/overview.mdx:16-16, rename “conversational search” to
“agentic search”; in resources/self_hosting/security/basic_security.mdx:203-203
and resources/self_hosting/security/master_api_keys.mdx:76-76, rename it to
“Chats API”.
In `@getting_started/features.mdx`:
- Line 61: Update the LLM providers entry in the features table to match the
workspace settings matrix: either add setup documentation for Google Gemini and
custom providers there, or remove/qualify those providers so the list contains
only supported documented options.
In `@resources/comparisons/typesense.mdx`:
- Around line 52-54: Complete the terminology migration: in
resources/comparisons/typesense.mdx lines 52-54, frame the AI SDK as the
recommended integration and /chats as experimental instead of describing
built-in conversational search; in getting_started/glossary.mdx lines 153-155,
rename the RAG link label to “agentic search” or “RAG”; and in
resources/comparisons/typesense.mdx lines 83-87, rename the migration link to
“Agentic search.”
In `@resources/demos/home_booking.mdx`:
- Line 39: Update the “Chat route docs” Card link to the dedicated Chats API
page instead of the generic agentic search overview, and revise the adjacent
card text to identify it as the Chats API.

Inline comments:
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/advanced/chats_api.mdx`:
- Line 846: Update streamChat to accumulate tool-call argument fragments by
toolCall.index before parsing, and invoke handleToolCall only after each tool
call’s arguments are fully assembled. Preserve the existing name and
empty-arguments validation while preventing incomplete fragments from reaching
JSON.parse.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/display_source_documents.mdx`:
- Around line 141-142: Update the message-part extraction around the flatMap
over messages to use a custom UIMessage type inferred from the search tool, then
guard parts with type exactly "tool-search" and state "output-available" before
accessing input.q and output.hits; do not rely on a generic startsWith("tool-")
check.
In `@capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/handle_errors_and_fallbacks.mdx`:
- Around line 42-48: Update the error branches in the agentic search response
handling, including the 429 branch and generic catch branch, to return fallback:
true so searchWithFallback invokes regular Meilisearch after failures; preserve
fallback: false for successful responses.
In `@getting_started/integrations/ai_sdk.mdx`:
- Around line 41-42: Guard MEILISEARCH_URL before constructing the search tools
in both examples: getting_started/integrations/ai_sdk.mdx lines 41-42 and
capabilities/agentic_search/how_to/display_source_documents.mdx lines 32-34. Add
a fail-fast environment check that ensures the value is defined before passing
it as the host, while preserving the existing API key and tool-construction
flow.
In `@resources/comparisons/typesense.mdx`:
- Line 54: Update the comparison table label and section heading in the
Typesense comparison to use the new agentic-search terminology instead of
“Conversational search” and “built-in chat,” while preserving the distinction
between the recommended AI SDK integration and experimental /chats API described
in the surrounding content.
