|
||
<p>Because knowledge bases are local, the data isn't remotely requested and re-ingested with every flow run.
|
||
This can be more efficient than using a remote vector database, and it is a good choice for flows that use custom, domain-specific datasets, like slices of customer and product data.</p>
|
||
<p>You can use knowledge base components in much the same way that you use vector store components.
|
||
However, there are several key differences:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Local storage</strong>: Langflow knowledge bases are exclusively local.
|
||
In contrast, only some vector store components support local databases.</li>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Built-in embedding models</strong>: Langflow knowledge bases include built-in support for several embedding models.
|
||
Other models aren't supported for use with knowledge bases.
|
||
To use a different provider or model, you must use a vector store component along with your preferred embedding model component.</li>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Basic similarity search</strong>: When querying Langflow knowledge bases, only standard similarity search is supported.
|
||
For more advanced searches, you must use a vector store component for a vector database provider that supports your desired functionality.</li>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Structured data</strong>: Langflow knowledge bases only support structured data.
|
||
For unstructured data, you must use a compatible vector store component.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>The <strong>Knowledge Base</strong> component reads from an existing knowledge base using semantic search.</p>
|
||
<p>The output is a <a class="" href="/data-types#dataframe"><code>DataFrame</code></a> containing the top matching results from the queried knowledge base.</p>

|
||
<p>Some parameters are hidden by default in the visual editor.
|
||
You can modify all component parameters through the <a class="" href="/concepts-components#component-inspection-panel">component inspection panel</a> that appears when you select a component.</p>

<p>After you create and load data to a <a class="" href="/knowledge">knowledge base</a>, you can use the <strong>Knowledge Base</strong> component in any flow to retrieve data from your knowledge base using semantic search:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p>Add a <strong>Knowledge Base</strong> component to your flow.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p>In the <strong>Knowledge</strong> field, select the knowledge base you want to search, such as the customer sales data knowledge base created in the previous steps.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p>To view the search results as chat messages, connect the <strong>Results</strong> output to a <strong>Chat Output</strong> component.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p>In <strong>Search query</strong>, enter a query that relates to your embedded data.</p>
|
||
<p>For the customer sales data example, enter a product name like <code>laptop</code> or <code>wireless devices</code>.</p>
