The Semantic Search endpoints searches a set of documents uploaded to the RAG Engine for a given question or topic, and returns snippets of documents that match the topic.
You can use this endpoint when building your own RAG engine solution or when implementing an intelligent search solution over documents. Search results are not merely keyword matches, but natural language understanding to understand what you're looking for, ensuring that the resulting outputs resonate with the underlying conceptual expectations.
