How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

I searched for the exact content in a document in two workspaces. It only listed the document in sources in one workspace despite it being available in both workspaces. The embedding model I'm using is openai's ada and Milvus as vector database.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

I think this is reproducible only when there are a large number of documents in each workspace (1307).

This is how RAG works, we only grab the top n of snippets. Even with the same documents there is no real promise that embedding vectors and responses will return 100% the same results - although they should be close.
