SearchApi
If you installed lfx directly with uv pip install lfx, install this provider from the long-tail metapackage:
uv pip install "lfx-bundles[<bundle>]"
Replace <bundle> with this page's provider name, for example qdrant.
To install every long-tail provider at once, run uv pip install "lfx[bundles]".
See the Bundle list for the exact extra name.
If you installed Langflow with uv pip install langflow, these bundle components are already included.
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.
