Oct 23, 2026: Retrieve Cortex Search (Public Preview)¶

Retrieve Cortex Search is now available in Public Preview. The CORTEX_SEARCH_RETRIEVE table function lets you run low-latency Cortex Search queries directly from SQL, either one query at a time or one query per input row with a LATERAL join.

Use it for real-time workloads such as retrieval-augmented generation, chatbots, and in-app search. Queries reuse the service’s existing serving resources, and because the function is a table function you can combine search results with joins, aggregations, and other SQL.
