ai_prep_search supports plain text and markdown input (Beta)
BetaVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
The ai_prep_search() SQL function now accepts plain text and markdown STRING content in addition to the structured VARIANT output of ai_parse_document . You can now chunk and prepare text that you already have as a string for AI Search indexing and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, without first running it through document parsing.
