Issue with Search Retrieval When Scaling to Larger Document Sets (20 → 2500 Documents)

Hi Team,

I am experiencing an issue with the retrieval functionality in my system. When adding a small set of 20 documents from my local storage, the chatbot is able to provide accurate answers with references from the documents. However, when I scale this to 2500 documents, the system fails to return any results, even though I know the answer exists in the documents, as it was working correctly with the smaller set.

    Hello,
     
    if you have a big number of documents, it'll be really hard for it to work properly as it's too much for a single model deployment. You'd need to think about approaching it differently - instead of uploading 2500 files, you could store the data on SP list or in Dataverse table. That way the model could use RAG to retrieve the data based on ODATA filter, instead of relying only on index search. Otherwise, it'll totally get lost in those documents. 
     
    In case of any other questions, let me know. If the answer helped you, mark it, so that others can benefit from it.
     
    Best regards,
