# Issue #66: [KNOW-014] Search API Endpoint ## Objective Implement a full-text search API endpoint for the knowledge module with ranking, highlighting, filtering, and pagination capabilities. ## Acceptance Criteria 1. ✅ Create GET /api/knowledge/search?q=... endpoint 2. ✅ Return ranked results with snippets 3. ✅ Highlight matching terms in results 4. ✅ Add filter by tags and status 5. ✅ Implement pagination 6. ✅ Ensure response time < 200ms ## Approach 1. Review existing knowledge module structure (controller, service, entities) 2. Review full-text search setup from issue #65 3. Write tests first (TDD - RED phase) 4. Implement minimal code to pass tests (GREEN phase) 5. Refactor and optimize (REFACTOR phase) 6. Performance testing 7. Quality gates and code review ## Current State Analysis The search endpoint already exists with most features implemented: - ✅ GET /api/knowledge/search endpoint exists - ✅ Full-text search with ts_rank for ranking - ✅ Snippet generation with ts_headline - ✅ Term highlighting with tags - ✅ Status filter implemented - ✅ Pagination implemented - ⚠️ Tag filtering NOT implemented in main search endpoint - ❓ Performance not tested **Gap:** The main search endpoint doesn't support filtering by tags. There's a separate endpoint `/by-tags` that only does tag filtering without text search. **Solution:** Add `tags` parameter to SearchQueryDto and modify the search service to combine full-text search with tag filtering. ## Progress - [x] Review existing code structure - [x] Write failing tests for tag filter in search endpoint (TDD - RED) - [x] Update SearchQueryDto to include tags parameter - [x] Implement tag filtering in search service (TDD - GREEN) - [x] Refactor and optimize (TDD - REFACTOR) - [x] Run all tests - 25 tests pass (16 service + 9 controller) - [x] TypeScript type checking passes - [x] Linting passes (fixed non-null assertion) - [ ] Performance testing (< 200ms) - [ ] Code review - [ ] QA checks - [ ] Commit changes ## Testing - Unit tests for service methods - Integration tests for controller endpoint - Performance tests for response time - Target: 85%+ coverage ## Notes - Use PostgreSQL full-text search from issue #65 - Follow NestJS conventions - Use existing DTOs and entities - Ensure type safety (no explicit any)
