filters help you organize and manage your <a class="" href="/knowledge">knowledge base</a> by creating pre-defined views of your documents.</p>
<p>Each knowledge filter captures a specific subset of documents based on given a search query and filters.</p>
<p>Knowledge filters can be used with different OpenRAG functionality.
For example, knowledge filters can help agents access large knowledge bases efficiently by narrowing the scope of documents that you want the agent to use.</p>

<p>When you install OpenRAG, it automatically creates an <strong>OpenRAG docs</strong> filter that includes OpenRAG&#x27;s default documents.
These documents provide information about OpenRAG itself and help you learn how to use OpenRAG.</p>
<p>When you use the OpenRAG <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-message-square" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M22 17a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H6.828a2 2 0 0 0-1.414.586l-2.202 2.202A.71.71 0 0 1 2 21.286V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h16a2 2 0 0 1 2 2z"></path></svg> <strong>Chat</strong>, <a href="#apply-a-filter" class="">apply the <strong>OpenRAG docs</strong> filter</a> if you want to ask questions about OpenRAG&#x27;s features and functionality.
This limits the agent&#x27;s context to the default OpenRAG documentation rather than all documents in your knowledge base.</p>
<p>After uploading your own documents, it is recommended that you create your own filters to organize your documents effectively and separate them from the default OpenRAG documents.</p>

You can edit the following settings:</p>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>Search Query</strong>: Enter text for semantic search, such as <code>financial reports from Q4</code>.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Data Sources</strong>: Select specific data sources or folders to include.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Document Types</strong>: Filter by file type.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Owners</strong>: Filter by the user that uploaded the documents.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Connectors</strong>: Filter by <a class="" href="/ingestion">upload source</a>, such as the local file system or a Google Drive OAuth connector.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Response Limit</strong>: Set the maximum number of results to return from the knowledge base. The default is <code>10</code>.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Score Threshold</strong>: Set the minimum relevance score for similarity search. The default score is <code>0</code>.</li>
