Adding to what @curt.kennedy has mentioned above. it is true having embeddings created will give us more control to bring our retrievers or decide how we would like to chunk. On the other hand, file search can be used for on-demand applications, the files will be deleted automatically after 7 days. it boils down to preference. Hope this helps. Cheers!
