Cookbook
Copy-paste recipes for the most common AACsearch SDK patterns — autocomplete, faceted search, product listings, click tracking, scoped tokens, multi-tenant, multi-locale, and graceful failure.
These recipes assume you have already followed Browser SDK setup and have a search-only API key (ss_search_*). All snippets are typed against @aacsearch/client (Node + browser) — adapt to other languages as needed.
Pick a recipe
| Recipe | What you get |
|---|---|
| Autocomplete | Debounced search-as-you-type with a dropdown of suggestions |
| Faceted search | Multi-select filter sidebar driven by AACsearch facet counts |
| Product listing page | Server-rendered PLP with filters, sort, pagination |
| Infinite scroll | Load-more pagination using TanStack Query's useInfiniteQuery |
| Click analytics | Track result clicks and conversions with events/track |
| No-results recommendations | Show fallback content when found: 0 |
| Fallback search | Degrade gracefully when AACsearch is unreachable |
| Scoped B2B catalog | Per-customer price tiers and product visibility via scoped tokens |
| Marketplace tenant isolation | Multi-vendor marketplace where each storefront sees only its own SKUs |
| Multi-locale catalog | Same products in en/de/es/fr/ru — single index with locale facet |
Common setup
Every recipe assumes one of these clients:
// Browser-safe (search only)
import { SearchClient } from "@aacsearch/client";
const client = new SearchClient({
baseUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AACSEARCH_BASE_URL!,
apiKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AACSEARCH_SEARCH_KEY!, // ss_search_*
indexSlug: "products",
});// Server-only (full CRUD)
import { AdminClient } from "@aacsearch/client";
const admin = new AdminClient({
baseUrl: process.env.AACSEARCH_BASE_URL!,
apiKey: process.env.AACSEARCH_ADMIN_KEY!, // aa_admin_*
projectId: process.env.AACSEARCH_ORG_ID!,
});Sample dataset assumed across recipes:
type Product = {
id: string;
external_id: string;
title: string;
description: string;
brand: string;
categories: string[];
price: number; // major units, decimal
in_stock: boolean;
locale: "en" | "de" | "es" | "fr" | "ru";
organization_id: string; // for multi-tenant recipes
customer_tier?: "retail" | "wholesale" | "vip"; // B2B only
};Every recipe is independently runnable. They share conventions (sample dataset, env var names, naming) but you can copy any one without setting up the others first.

Swift SDK
Instale y use el SDK aacsearch-swift para búsqueda, gestión de índices, sinónimos, curaciones y análisis desde aplicaciones iOS, macOS y visionOS.
Autocomplete
Debounced search-as-you-type with a dropdown of suggestions. Uses `useDeferredValue` for React-idiomatic debounce and `multi-search` to fetch products + categories in one round trip.
