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.

Well, that is what the acronym stands for. But every source I've ever seen quickly follows by noting it's retrieval backed by a vectordb. So we'd probably find an even split of people who would call this RAG or not.
