# LlamaIndex. 

Index and retrieve document passages for applications with language models

4.48 / 5    [Directory score](https://instain.ru/en/ai/llamaindex/#editorial-rating) [Official website ](https://www.llamaindex.ai/)

The framework links source load, index, and fragment search. The team chooses how to generate the request and what to transfer to the model for response.

## First you need to find the right paragraph.

A documentation folder contains the current manual and last year’s revision. A question about configuring search can retrieve passages from both. LlamaIndex helps build an index and retrieve passages for a query. Check the source, revision date, and section before passing the information to the answer model. Keep those fields when loading documents and decide which versions each user may see.

## What to see in the issuance

Build a practice library with a few manuals. Write three questions with known sources and one that the library cannot answer. Record the source text and where the relevant passage appears in the results. If it is absent, check chunking, filters, and indexing before changing the summary. For a lengthy procedure, consider retaining neighboring paragraphs or a link to the whole section.

## After updating the documents

Replace one manual and repeat the earlier questions. Check that the link opens the correct revision and that deleted text no longer appears. Query a restricted section using an account with ordinary permissions. LlamaIndex provides retrieval components. Your application sets permissions, handles empty results, and verifies answers. This matters when an operator acts in another system based on the retrieved text. Start with a collection small enough to verify by hand.

## Suitable tasks

- Collect search by technical instructions

- Evaluate whether the desired fragment falls into the context of the model

Features 

## Strengths

- Separates indexing, search and generation

- Integrations for sources and storage

Things to consider 

## Limitations

- Results depend on document preparation and filters

- The application must account for file versions and access to retrieved content

From task to first result

## Practical example

Task

Collect search by technical instructions

What to prepare

Two versions of the instruction manual and questions with known sources.

### Task brief or prompt

Prepare an index with version and section fields. Find supporting fragments, return the source document and position.

### Expected result

Issuance with the correct version of the instruction and available source.

### How to check the result

- Check the search without generating a response.

- Make sure that the index update eliminates the outdated edition.
