AI search · front end of the knowledge engine

AI search for business, every result with a source.

AI search is the search front end of the RAGSuite Engine, the knowledge engine for your data. Your team searches websites, documents and connected apps at once; the search sums up the results in one answer and links every statement to its passage. As a widget or via API, in every plan.

Explained simply

What is AI search for business?

AI search for business searches all of a company’s knowledge sources at once: file shares, wikis, intranet, website and business apps. Instead of searching each system on its own, your team asks in one place in plain language. The AI also understands paraphrases, known as semantic search, and answers with sources.

How it works

From source to answer, in four steps.

01

Ingest

Websites, files and apps are read into your own search index.

02

Prepare

Texts are split into passages so the search finds exact places.

03

Find the best hits

The search combines meaning and keywords and re-ranks the hits.

04

Answer, with sources

The AI sums up the best passages and links every statement.

Features

AI search as enterprise search software, for real knowledge bases.

All sources together

Files, websites, SharePoint, Confluence, Drive, Notion, Slack and Gmail in one project.

Source on every result

Every statement in the AI overview links the exact passage.

Model per project

Large models, EU providers or, self-hosted, local models.

Tuned per project

Sources, answer behaviour and widgets kept separate per team.

Embed

Two lines to AI search in your intranet.

You embed the search widget with one snippet in your intranet, portal or website. It takes your colours, opens with Ctrl/⌘ K and only answers on the domains you allow, from the RAGSuite Engine or your server.

Embed on your websiteHTML
<!-- RAGSuite search widget -->
<script
  src="https://ragsuite.ihre-firma.de/search-widget/v1/ragsuite-init.js"
  data-api-endpoint="https://ragsuite.ihre-firma.de/api/v1"
  defer>
</script>
One snippet in your HTML: done.
API

Search inside your own applications.

Through the REST API your applications call the search directly and build their own interface. Through MCP other AI tools use your knowledge; with n8n and webhooks you bring search into workflows.

FAQ

Questions about AI search.

What is AI search for business?

AI search for business searches all of a company’s knowledge sources at once, such as file shares, wikis, intranet and business apps. Instead of searching each system on its own, your team asks in one place in plain language. The AI sums up the best hits in a short answer, with a source for every statement.

Is the AI search enterprise search software?

Yes. RAGSuite covers what you expect from enterprise search software: one search across many sources, hits with links, embedding in the intranet and an API. On top comes the AI answer with sources. “Enterprise” here means businesses, not our plan: AI search is included in every plan.

What can RAGSuite’s AI search cover?

Crawled websites, uploaded PDF, DOCX and TXT files, and connected apps such as SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, Notion, Slack and Gmail: together in one project. MCP and n8n add more tools. Every connector is included in every plan, including the free Community Edition.

How does AI search differ from classic enterprise search?

Classic enterprise search returns a list of hits for keywords. AI search understands the question, also finds paraphrases and sums up the best passages in a short answer, with a source for every statement. The classic hits stay visible so your team can read on.

Can we embed the search in our intranet?

Yes, with one snippet. The widget takes your colours, opens with a keyboard shortcut and only answers on allowed domains. It is served from the RAGSuite Engine or from your own server. Through the REST API developers can also build the search straight into their own apps.

Which plan includes AI search?

Every plan, including the free Community Edition with unlimited users. The RAGSuite Engine and Enterprise have the full feature set: roles and teams, the full audit log, model comparison and query tracing, which lets you follow every search query in detail, step by step.
