alt Hacker NewsI'm lucky enough to have 95% of my docs in small markdown markdown files so I'm just... not (+). I'm using SQLite FTS5 (full text search) to build a normal search index and using that. Well, I already had the index so I just wired it up to my mastra agents. Each file has a short description field, so if a keyword search surfaces the doc they check the description and if it matches, load the whole doc.
This took about one hour to set up and works very well.
(+) At least, I don't think this counts as RAG. I'm honestly a bit hazy on the definition. But there's no vectordb anyway.
Retrieval-augmented generation. What you described is a perfect example of a RAG. An embedding-based search might be more common, but that's a detail.
