It eliminates the need for keyword-based techniques and offers language support.

**Document Search**: Vectara processes various document formats, including product manuals, support articles, question and answer databases, website pages, emails, blogs, financial reports, and legal documents, according to the vendor. It generates vector-based relationships and provides highlighted pointers to relevant ideas within documents.

**Text Analysis**: According to the vendor, Vectara applies advanced AI models to analyze text from multiple sources such as emails, social media comments, web pages, customer support tickets, messages, survey responses, tweets, and documents. It aims to assist with recommendations, identifying related content, generating Q&A responses, and query routing.

Developers can attach key data attributes, such as star ratings, product categories, document freshness, or custom probability scores, to order results before serving them to users.
