`search` connectors¶

Search-engine integrations. After the 2026-06-19 SDK migration the lineup is: three connectors on official Go SDKs (meilisearch, opensearch, weaviate) and two on Apache REST APIs (solr, tika) which ship no first-party Go SDK. For full-text + vector retrieval inside the Helix RAG pipeline, see pkg/rag/store/ (embeds Weaviate, Pinecone, Qdrant, Milvus, pgvector, ChromaDB, Redis, OpenSearch, memory).
