Frequently asked questions
What is Hyper Search?
Hyper Search lets you upload tabular data, generate embeddings, and query it with semantic search through a simple API or drop-in widget.
How do I add a search bar to my website?
Sign up, create a project, upload your data, and grab a widget key from the Embed tab. Paste the snippet into your HTML or React app and you're done.
Can users upload data through my site?
Yes. Use the Upload widget snippet on a page where you want users (or admins) to add searchable items. You can require moderation so admins approve uploads before they appear.
What file formats are supported?
Upload CSV files for bulk imports in the dashboard, where PDFs and Word docs are also processed via OCR. The drop-in upload widget accepts text and CSV content.
Can I search both text and images?
Yes. Hyper Search supports text embeddings and image embeddings, including cross-modal retrieval (text query → image hits and vice versa).
How is widget security handled?
Widget keys are scoped per-project and restricted by allowed origins. They're designed to be public — you'll see them in HTML source — but they can only do what their scopes allow.
Is there authentication and access control?
Yes. Projects are scoped to your account, and API access is controlled by your generated keys (server keys for backend, widget keys for browser).
