SearchApi
This provider is an extra of the lfx-bundles metapackage. It is opt-in for both Langflow and standalone LFX installs:
uv pip install "lfx-bundles[<bundle>]"
Replace <bundle> with this page's provider name, for example qdrant.
For a torch-free full Langflow install, run uv pip install "langflow[bundles]".
For standalone LFX with every provider in lfx-bundles, including PyTorch-based providers, run uv pip install "lfx[bundles]".
See Additional bundles for the exact extra name.
Bundles contain custom components that support specific third-party integrations with Langflow.
This page describes the components that are available in the SearchApi bundle.
For more information, see the SearchApi documentation.
