Create a Powerful Search for Your Technical Docs

Learn how to build a fast, accurate, and customizable search engine for your technical documentation using CoderSwap.

Step 1: Upload Your Documentation

Whether your docs are in Markdown, PDF, or plain text, you can upload them directly to CoderSwap. We'll handle the rest, from parsing and chunking to embedding.

  • Support for Markdown, PDF, DOCX, and plain text formats
  • Automatic parsing of code blocks and technical content
  • Smart chunking preserves context and structure

Step 2: Define Your Search Logic

For technical documentation, you might want to boost code snippets and prioritize newer versions of your docs. With CoderSwap, you can define this logic in plain English.

"Prioritize matches in code blocks and boost documents from the latest version of our API."

Step 3: Test and Deploy

Use the interactive search builder to ensure your search is returning the most relevant results. Once you're satisfied, deploy your search with a single click to get a production-ready API endpoint.

Try queries like "API authentication" or "error codes"

2

Fine-tune ranking weights

Adjust vector/keyword balance for optimal results

3

Deploy to production

Get your endpoint URL and API key instantly

Step 4: Integrate Your Search

Integrate your new documentation search into your website or developer portal with a simple API call.

const response = await fetch('https://api.coderswap.io/v1/search', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': 'cs_pub_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: 'how to use the search API',
    top_k: 10
  })
});

const results = await response.json();
console.log(results.hits);
