Bulk import from object storage is billed at $0.25/GB, down from $1/GB. How bulk import works, and a runnable example that loads a semantic search corpus end to end.
Learn how to turn Azure Blob Storage data into an AI-ready knowledge base using Pinecone. A deployable template automates the full ingestion pipeline—parsing, chunking, embedding, and indexing—so your documents are searchable in minutes.
Learn how Pinecone full-text search uses BM25 scoring and Lucene syntax for exact match, boolean, and phrase queries — and how to combine it with vector search.

A knowledge engine is the data infrastructure category that lets agents query trusted, compiled knowledge instead of brute-forcing retrieval over raw data. How one is built, how agents query it, and how it compares to RAG, vector databases, and semantic layers.
Full text search in Pinecone, built for agents and RAG. Lucene queries, BM25, 17-language tokenization, and text-match filters in a single query alongside vectors.
