Team SWIRL is announcing general availability of SWIRL AI Search 4.1, Enterprise Edition - delivering upgraded LLM and Assistant interfaces across the board.
Enhanced Citations and Assistant Refactor
The AI Assistant has been refactored with a new SWIRL Search syntax that improves how citations are handled and displayed. Users can now trace exactly which source and document fragment contributed to an AI-generated response - a critical requirement for enterprise governance and audit workflows.
AI Provider Fallback
4.1 introduces automatic failover across AI Providers configured for the same role (e.g., "rag"). If the primary LLM provider is unavailable or returns an error, SWIRL automatically routes to the next configured provider - keeping AI Search and AI Assistant operational without manual intervention.
SearchProvider JSON Config Block
A new config block in SearchProvider definitions accepts arbitrary JSON, enabling advanced source configuration without custom code. This makes it significantly easier to connect to sources with complex authentication, custom headers, or non-standard query parameters.
Stronger SQL and Formatted-Query Support
SQL query generation by the AI Assistant has been improved, with better handling of complex joins, subqueries, and dialect-specific syntax. Formatted-query language support has been extended to cover more edge cases across Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and MongoDB.
Galaxy UI Polish
The Galaxy UI has been updated with a quick DESELECT ALL → SELECT ALL toggle, making it faster to reset source selections when switching between broad and targeted search workflows.
