2.3 Vault Search (RAG)

Vault Search (RAG) 🔍

Vault Search automatically finds and uses relevant notes from your vault to enhance AI responses.

Basic Usage

1. Type your query in the chat
2. Trigger vault search by:
   • Using the hotkey: Cmd+Shift+Enter (or Ctrl+Shift+Enter in Windows)
   • Or clicking the Vault Chat button

Other Situations Where Vault Search (RAG) Activates

Vault Search (RAG) also activates automatically when:

• You include "@Vault" mention in your message
• Mentioned files/folders exceed the Threshold Tokens limit

How It Works

1. When triggered, the plugin:

   • Searches your vault for relevant notes
   • Updates embeddings for any modified files since last indexing
   • Includes found content as context
   • Note: Embeddings are only generated when vault search is triggered, not during regular chat

2. Vault Indexing:

   • Embeddings are created only for modified files since last indexing
   • Full vault reindexing available via "Rebuild Entire Vault Index" command

3. Referenced Documents:

   • After vault search, you can see which files were used as context
   • Click "Show Referenced Documents" to view the list
   • Each file shows its relevance score and the specific line numbers used
