Indexing Strategy: Chunking, Metadata, and Refresh Cycles
Indexing Strategy: Chunking, Metadata, and Refresh Cycles
Chunking
Chunk by meaning, not by fixed size only. Use headings and semantic boundaries so retrieval returns coherent context.
Metadata
Store: doc_type, product, version, access_level, updated_at. Metadata filtering prevents wrong or unauthorized retrieval.
Refresh cycles
Docs change. Plan periodic re-indexing and invalidate stale embeddings when content updates.
