The /collections/search endpoint will run a hybrid similarity search of your query passed as parameter q and return the chunks and collections with the highest semantic similarity after a re-ranking step.

This endpoint can be used as an action in your custom OpenAI GPTs. Search the full OpenIndex.ai knowledge base by adding a new function to your custom GPT with this OpenAPI json schema.

If you want to only search a specific collection in your custom GPT, use the json schema URL https://www.openindex.ai/actions/gpt?collection_id=<collection_id>. We now show that URL in the main collection page, see for example the collection Vitalik's Essays.

For now only public OpenIndex.ai collections can be retrieved. We are looking to implement OAuth login with OpenAI GPT to also allow for private and team collections search.
