It provides a client to create search endpoints, define delta-sync indexes backed by Databricks tables, and run similarity searches against stored embeddings. The package handles authentication automatically in Databricks notebooks and supports explicit credential methods (PAT, service principals, OAuth) for external use.\n\nThe SDK is a rename and continuation of the legacy `databricks-vectorsearch` package; the old class names are preserved as aliases for backward compatibility, but new projects should use the `databricks-ai-search` package directly. It depends on mlflow-skinny, requests, deprecation, and httpx, all lightweight and stable libraries.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Databricks and need vector search. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and integrates seamlessly with Databricks notebooks. However, the license is restrictive and proprietary\u2014use is only permitted in connection with a Databricks Platform Services agreement. Do not install if you are not a Databricks customer or do not have a valid service agreement in place."},"id":"databricks-ai-search","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/databricks-ai-search","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/databricks-ai-search.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/databricks-ai-search/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"databricks-ai-search","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Databricks AI Search Client (formerly Vector Search)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2515634,"position":3030,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.78"}
