Closes #1245

Add support for personalized search (introduced in Meilisearch 1.47.0, experimental) to the search endpoint.

• New PersonalizeSearch model (meilisearch.models.index.PersonalizeSearch) with a required user_context field, serialized to userContext via camel_converter.
• Index.search() now accepts an optional personalize argument (a PersonalizeSearch instance or a plain dict), which is included in the request body as the personalize field.
• Existing callers are unaffected: when personalize is omitted, the request body is unchanged.
• Added a code sample under the personalization_search_1 key (matching the documentation) and unit tests for the model.

AI usage disclosure: This contribution was written with AI assistance (Claude). The author has reviewed and verified the changes; the model was used to draft the PersonalizeSearch model, the search() wiring, code samples, and tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Search requests can now include personalization context, provided as a model or a mapping.
  • Added a Python example showing personalized movie search.

Walkthrough

Index.search now accepts personalization context as a PersonalizeSearch model or dictionary. The SDK serializes model values using aliases and includes supplied personalization in the request body.

Changes: Personalized search

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Personalization context model meilisearch/models/index.py, tests/models/test_personalize.py	Adds PersonalizeSearch with a required user_context field. Tests cover alias serialization, validation, and camel-case and snake-case input.
Index search request support meilisearch/index.py, .code-samples.meilisearch.yaml	Index.search accepts a model or dictionary and includes it as personalize when provided. Documentation describes the parameter and its requirements. The sample adds a personalized movie search.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7f375

The personalization change is mergeable on the available evidence. Adding request-body tests would strengthen regression protection for both supported input forms.

Explanation

The changed model, Index.search() wiring, model tests, and the personalization code sample all directly support the personalized search objective in issue [#1245]. The code sample is extra because the issue says no sample update is needed, but it remains technically connected to the feature and is not unrelated scope.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#1245] requires personalized search support for both Search (POST) and Search (GET), plus tests for the updated methods. The PR adds PersonalizeSearch and wires personalize only into Index.search(), which sends self.http.post(...). The diff adds no GET search support and no Index.search() request tests. The model tests cover alias serialization and validation, but they do not verify the new method behavior.

Resolution

Add personalize support to the SDK's Search (GET) method, if exposed, with the required userContext encoding. Add request tests for personalized POST and GET searches, including model and dictionary inputs and the omitted-personalize behavior.

Add a test that asserts the search request body for personalize.

The new tests call only PersonalizeSearch directly. They never call Index.search. If the personalize entry were removed from the search body, these tests would still pass. Add a test that passes a PersonalizeSearch instance and a dictionary to Index.search, then asserts that the posted body contains "personalize": {"userContext": ...}.
