rag-search is a lightweight Retrieval-Augmented Generation API service designed to provide structured semantic search and answer generation through a simple FastAPI backend. The project integrates web search, vector embeddings, and reranking logic to retrieve relevant context before passing it to a language model for response generation. It is built to be easily deployable, requiring only environment configuration and dependency installation to run a functional RAG service. The system supports configurable filtering, scoring thresholds, and reranking options, allowing developers to fine-tune retrieval quality. Its architecture is modular, separating handlers, services, and utilities to support customization and extension. Overall, rag-search serves as a practical starter backend for teams building AI search or question-answering applications on their own data.
