Understanding Document Chunks

When you upload a document to your knowledge base, the system automatically divides it into smaller segments called “chunks.” This chunking process is crucial for:
  • Improved LLM Processing: Allows large language models to process manageable portions of text.
  • Enhanced Retrieval: Enables more precise information retrieval by pinpointing relevant sections.
  • Optimized Performance: Reduces computational load and improves response times.

Search Types

When querying your knowledge base, you can utilize different search methods:

Hybrid Search

Combines semantic understanding with keyword matching. Ideal for balancing context-aware results with exact matches.

Full Text Search

Focuses on exact keyword matches within the text. Best for finding specific terms or phrases.

Semantic Search

Emphasizes understanding the meaning and context of the query. Excellent for natural language queries and user intent.
Choose the search type that best fits your specific use case and the nature of your queries to optimize your knowledge base performance.
