In “FileMaker Semantic Search – Part 1: Fundamental Power” we discussed how to configure your Claris FileMaker 2024 app to support semantic search. Here in Part 2 of this three-part blog series we'll dig deeper into the details of this awesome new functionality, with a demo tutorial file for exploring AI Call Logging.

Vince reacts with details, and his share of amazement, to the experience of pair programming with ChatGPT as co-pilot, searching for deeper meaning in FileMaker scripts using semantic search (using InspectorPro 8), and the overall experience using AI with FileMaker 2024.

FileMaker 2024 delivers native semantic search, and it's awesome. Now you can search records whose text is similar to the semantic meaning of your search term, even if those records don't include your exact search term. Using natural language, users can be freed from trying to recall exactly how data was input. Let's dive in to see just how powerful FileMaker’s semantic search is.

FileMaker 2023 (v20) added minor functionality to the FileMaker Data API. Here, we'll cover an overview of the new date format parameters, Save Record as PDF script step, and several bug fixes. We also want to mention another option, FileMaker's OData features, for some of the integrations we might otherwise handle via REST, cURL, and the FileMaker Data API. We're providing a tutorial file for learning more and trying out various REST and cURL functionality with FileMaker's Data API. Enjoy!

Most web applications we build benefit from having a separate data access layer (DAL) and separating business logic from database interaction. The main advantages to this are easier testing and maintainability. Because business logic is separated from the actual implementation, you can write code in terms of higher level abstractions, rather than having to worry about specifics.
