## Description

<Danger>
  In Cognigy.AI 2026.5.0, the Knowledge Search Node was removed. If you use this Node, it will still work, but you won't be able to create new Knowledge Search Nodes. To ensure a seamless transition, we strongly recommend using the [Search Extract Output](/ai/agents/develop/node-reference/other-nodes/search-extract-output) Node, as it offers the same functionality and additional features.
</Danger>

This Node searches and retrieves content from data that was previously uploaded to the Knowledge AI solution.

Before using this Node, ensure that you have a `text-embedding-ada-002` LLM configured. Refer to the [list of supported providers](/ai/agents/develop/gen-ai-and-llms/model-support-by-feature).

To display the output of the Knowledge Search Node to the user, follow these steps:

1. In the Flow editor, add a Say Node below the Knowledge Search Node.
2. In the **Output Type** field, select **Text**.
3. In the **Text** field, click <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cognigy-15abf2ba/WLWtdAYHA6nv5QU9/_assets/icons/black-and-white/token.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=WLWtdAYHA6nv5QU9&q=85&s=be727fba173e3e825095d7765ab0bae2" alt="token" width="20" height="20" data-path="_assets/icons/black-and-white/token.svg" /> and select the **KSearch:TopK Texts** Token.
4. Click **Save Node**.
