searchbox alternatives
Curated alternatives to searchbox — and why you'd switch.
LlamaIndex
Data framework for connecting custom data sources to LLMs — ingestion, indexing, retrieval.
Why switchBoth answer questions over a private corpus, but by opposite paradigms. LlamaIndex is a production RAG framework: build a structured index, then query it. searchbox is an airgapped research harness where an agent explores the raw corpus with grep/embed/rerank tools under a budget — no prebuilt index. Use LlamaIndex to ship RAG, searchbox to study agentic retrieval.
