Feature Request

The newly added full-text feature would allow users to upload a document and use it directly, without waiting for embedding.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It allows me for example, to directly and completely summarize a youtube video, without waiting for embeddings, and saves me time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce a separate full-text upload option or a toggle, or use a double '##' to enable direct full-text usage.

Describe alternatives you've considered
none yet.

I think an option to create per model guidelines for bypassing RAG would be a great option too.

Strongly support this. Manually modifying it each time is very troublesome; a global switch to modify the default settings would be much better.

Seven months later, I still want this feature. My core idea is to separate the embedding retrieval logic of the knowledge base from that of regular conversation file uploads, allowing independent configuration.

With these new models, "Bypass Embeddings and Retrieval" is frigging brilliant, the results are as good as ChatGPT.
I get the background into RAG and why some use cases, still require it, but heck try life without it the quality of the LLM responses is a massive improvement.
