Search Search is a powerful feature in VectorShift that allows you to ask questions and retrieve information based on your pipeline or knowledge base. With Search, you can quickly find answers and insights without having to manually sift through large amounts of data. When you use Search, you can:
  • Ask questions in natural language
  • Get relevant answers from your pipeline or knowledge base
  • Explore connections between different pieces of information
  • Save time by quickly accessing the information you need
  • Choose to search within a specific pipeline or knowledge base
Search uses advanced algorithms to understand your query and match it with the most relevant information in your data. This makes it an invaluable tool for decision-making, problem-solving, and gaining deeper insights into your projects.
