The RheinInsights Retrieval Suite is an Enterprise Search and Retrieval Augmented Generation framework. The Suite is vendor-independent, which means it does neither provide a search engine itself nor its own LLM. But you as the customer can decide which search engine to use or which LLM.

If we do not yet support your favorite search engine or LLM, then please let us know.

Our Suite combines crawling and indexing with search and retrieval capabilities. This means, it brings enterprise search connectors and offers query APIs and a flexible search interface framework.

As we know that your data is the most valuable thing you have, our Suite is not offered as a managed service or a cloud solution. But you can choose to deploy it as a standalone application to one of your virtual machines, run it in your Docker as container solution or in one of your resource groups as an Azure Kubernetes application.

Pick and Choose

Our Suite is offered as a whole-in-one-solution and turnkey solution where our customers can decide which components they want to use. We have customers, who just use the Enterprise Search Connectors, customers who use our query APIs and customers who use the entire stack, including the search interface. Thus, after deployment of the RheinInsights Retrieval Suite, you can easily configure the solution, you are interested in.

Enterprise Search Connectors

As of April 2025, our Suite brings more than twenty enterprise search connectors for six different search engines. After deploying our Suite, customers can choose which connectors they like to use with which search engines.

All connectors are designed for efficiency and robustness and bring secure search. This means that they understand the permission schemes of the content sources and make sure that these are reflected in search.

Query Pipelines

The foundation of our own enterprise search interface are the query APIs which the Retrieval Suite offers. The integrated query framework can be configured towards the demands of your search or bot application. They simplify getting started as they offer many features which you would otherwise need to build. Including security trimming. So overall it significantly shortcuts the time to market.

Enterprise Search Interface

The RheinInsights Retrieval Suite offers a fully-featured enterprise search interface. It offers OIDC (OAuth)-based authentication, so that users authenticate before using the search or interacting with the RAG.

The interface can be flexibly styled and configured. It offers search result lists, verticals, result blocks, filters. Moreover, customers can choose from different result templates, enable document preview functionalities and more.

The Search Interface can also be used without security trimming for unauthenticated users. We call this scenario website or public search.

Conclusion

Overall, the RheinInsights Retrieval Suite is a turnkey solution for enterprise search and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). It is set up and configured in a matter of minutes – not days. Normally the setup is done without our help and without a large introductory project. While customers can flexibly decide which components they like to use and which can be added even during normal operations.
