RAG Index

Definitions

1. The searchable index used by a retrieval-augmented generation system to locate relevant source material. A RAG index may store embeddings, metadata, keywords, or hybrid search structures.

   In plain English: The index a RAG system searches to find relevant source material.

   Example: "The assistant improved only after they rebuilt the RAG index to exclude obsolete documentation that still ranked highly."
