## New Components

### search-box

The <mark>search-box</mark> UI component is enhanced to support AI Answering, showing FAQs as suggestions, and showing curated suggestions with custom actions. See all of these in action with an extensive search showcase below. Read the component documentation over [here](https://docs.reactivesearch.io/docs/reactivesearch/vue/search/searchbox/).

### Secure API

ReactiveSearch Vue v3 uses the ReactiveSearch API to express the search intent. This requires the use of a ReactiveSearch server with two deployment choices: a [search cluster](https://www.reactivesearch.io/pricing) and a [serverless search](https://www.reactivesearch.io/pricing/serverless-search) mode.

### Expanded Search Engine Support

ReactiveSearch UI kit supports Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, OpenAI, Solr and MongoDB Atlas Search as the choices for backend search engines.

| Search Engine | Search Cluster Support | Serverless Search support |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Elasticsearch | Yes, fully hosted | Yes (user connects to their Elasticsearch) |
| OpenSearch | Yes, fully hosted | Yes (built-in) |
| OpenAI | Yes, API support and via pipelines | Yes, API support via pipelines |
| Solr \[Preview\] | \- | Yes (user connects to their Solr cloud cluster) |
| MongoDB Atlas Search \[Preview\] | \- | Yes (user connects to their MongoDB Atlas Search cloud) |

Elasticsearch and OpenSearch are supported completely. OpenAI is supported with both ReactiveSearch API and with pipelines. Solr and MongoDB Atlas search supports are in preview, we're happy to provide additional support to get you up and running with these engines.
