Understanding Search vs. Analysis
Search: The format can be indexed and retrieved based on structured content, keywords, metadata, and within supported files. This allows users to query their entire knowledge base and quickly find relevant documents without necessarily scoping specific documents. Analysis: Analysis means the platform can process the full content of a document, including text interpretation, summarization, and contextual insights. The document must be scoped (delimited) within the query. Some formats support both search and analysis, while others only allow for search-based retrieval.Supported File Formats by Category
