DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.SemanticSearch

DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.SemanticSearch NuGet Package

Contains AI-powered semantic search behaviors for DevExpress WinForms controls. It enables natural-language search for data-aware UI elements so that users can find relevant records beyond exact keyword matches.

Key Features

• Supported Controls: Supports the DevExpress WinForms Data Grid, GridLookUpEdit, and SearchLookUpEdit.

• Vector-Based Relevance Matching: Uses embedding generation and vector stores to compare query intent with record content.

• Multiple Search Modes: Supports Standard, Semantic, and Hybrid modes. Hybrid mode combines keyword and semantic search.

• Configurable Similarity Filtering: Allows you to adjust result quality with score thresholds and threshold filter settings based on similarity or distance metrics.

• Behavior-Based Integration: Enables semantic search through SemanticSearchBehavior and allows you to configure properties such as the data source key field, vector collection, search mode, and result count.

• Provider and Storage Flexibility: Supports registered embedding generators and vector collections, including in-memory configurations for demos and pluggable vector stores for production environments.

• Large-Data Discoverability: Helps users find contextually relevant records faster than exact-text matching alone.
