Public Stores

Public stores are search indexes that are accessible to all Mixedbread users. They include stores maintained by Mixedbread as well as stores shared publicly by other users.

Using Public Stores

Public stores work exactly like your own stores. Reference them using the store_identifiers parameter:

results = mxbai.stores.search(
  query="What is RAG?",
  store_identifiers=["mixedbread/web"]
)

You can combine public stores with your own stores in a single search:

results = mxbai.stores.search(
  query="machine learning best practices",
  store_identifiers=[
      "mixedbread/web",
      "my-documentation",
      "internal-wiki"
  ],
  top_k=15
)

Mixedbread Stores

  top_k=10
)
