So, I’m not entirely sure if I follow you here… How would one use a language model to find a document out of a corpus of existing documents? As opposed to finding an answer to a question, trained on documents, which I can see. I mean answering a query like “find the report containing X”?

I see search as encompassing at least two separate, but related, domains: information gathering/seeking (answering a question) and information retrieval (find the best matching document). I’m curious how LLMs can help with the later.
