📁 Storage

DocNav stores corpora in ~/.docnav/corpora/ by default:

~/.docnav/
├── corpora/
│   ├── mydocs/
│   │   ├── corpus_index.pkl
│   │   └── metadata.json
│   └── another_corpus/
│       ├── corpus_index.pkl
│       └── metadata.json

🎯 Advanced Usage

Custom Chunking

from docnav import Corpus

# Custom chunk size
corpus = Corpus("mydocs", chunk_size=2000)

# Add with custom chunking
corpus.add(["large_document.pdf"], chunk_size=1500)

Filtering Queries

# Query with metadata filters
answer = corpus.ask(
    "Budget information",
    where={"type": "pdf", "file_name": "budget_report.pdf"}
)

Batch Processing

# Process multiple files efficiently
files = [
    "reports/q1.pdf",
    "reports/q2.pdf", 
    "reports/q3.pdf"
]
corpus.add(files, use_ocr=True)
