Search is a managed search service over the data your Telnyx account already holds. Create a collection, attach sources, and query them with natural language through one retrieval API. Telnyx handles embedding, indexing, and ranking. Voice call transcriptions are searchable today; meetings, messaging, and stored documents are coming soon. It is retrieval-only by design: every search returns scored, source-attributed chunks ready to ground any LLM. Generation belongs to your application — bring your own model.

How It Works

  1. Create a collection — a named container with retrieval settings. Creating one is instant: a collection is a pointer, not a copy.
  2. Attach sources — mix voice, meeting, messaging, and bucket sources in one collection.
  3. Configure settings — retrieval mode and result count, with per-request overrides.
  4. Search — one GET returns ranked chunks with scores, metadata, and source attribution.
For the pipeline behind this — and how Search relates to the lower-level embeddings APIs — see How Search Works.

Sources

A collection can include any combination of these source types: Conversation-backed sources index what conversation persistence has stored for the account — new calls become searchable minutes after they end.
