Fixes 578 - Add NLQ Search to Marketplace Search Bar

[shrabantipaul-collate]

Add NLQ Search to Marketplace Search Bar

MarketplaceSearchBar - Added a Natural Language Query (NLQ) toggle button inside the search input, matching the style of the global search bar's NLQ icon. The toggle is independent of the global search bar state - each has its own on/off state.

NLQ flow — When the toggle is active and NLP is enabled on the backend, the search calls nlqSearch with index=marketplace (the Elasticsearch alias covering both domain and dataProduct indexes). Results are split by entityType into data products and domains. Falls back to regular keyword search if NLQ is unavailable.

Code Review ✅ Approved 1 resolved / 1 findings

Integrates NLQ search into the Marketplace search bar with independent toggle state. The default NLP state has been disabled to prevent premature search failures.

✅ 1 resolved

✅ Bug: isNLPEnabled defaults to true, may cause failed NLQ searches

📄 openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/components/DataMarketplace/MarketplaceSearchBar/MarketplaceSearchBar.component.tsx:49 📄 openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/components/DataMarketplace/MarketplaceSearchBar/MarketplaceSearchBar.component.tsx:59-63
The state isNLPEnabled is initialized to true (line 49) before the getNLPEnabledStatus() API call resolves. If a user activates the NLQ toggle and types a query before the status check completes (or if the network is slow), the component will call nlqSearch even when the backend doesn't support NLQ.

While the catch block handles API errors gracefully (showing empty results), this is still a misleading UX: the toggle appears enabled and functional, then silently fails. The safer default is false, showing the regular search icon until NLP support is confirmed.

Are we not using pagination on this endpoint yet?

[shrabantipaul-collate]

Since this is a suggestions dropdown, not a paginated list page, we just want just the top results.

[shrabantipaul-collate]

We always fetch the first page to get enough items to split between data products and domains.
