Abstract
This IDC Market Note highlights some of the announcements from 2H23 to 1Q24 and their implications for players in the search and knowledge discovery market. Vector search, while not itself a new technology, has recently emerged as a key enabling technology for generative AI in the enterprise. It supports retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by retrieving a relevant subset of information from a data source and feeding it to an LLM to further augment the LLM's existing, pretrained knowledge. Over the course of 2023 and early 2024, vendors across traditional search and knowledge discovery, conversational AI, cloud, and database markets, along with a number of start-ups, have made significant announcements, product launches, and product updates around vector search and RAG.
