Traditional vector-based RAG relies on semantic *similarity* rather than true *relevance*. But **similarity ≠ relevance** — what we truly need in retrieval is **relevance**, and that requires **reasoning**. When working with professional documents that demand domain expertise and multi-step reasoning, similarity search often falls short. -Inspired by AlphaGo, we propose **[PageIndex](https://vectify.ai/pageindex)**, a **reasoning-based RAG** system that builds a tree index over long documents and reasons over that index for retrieval. It simulates how **human experts** navigate and extract knowledge from long documents through **tree search**, enabling LLMs to *think* and *reason* their way to the most relevant document sections. It performs retrieval in two steps: +Inspired by AlphaGo, we propose **[PageIndex](https://vectify.ai/pageindex)** — a **_vectorless_**, **reasoning-based RAG** system that builds a *hierarchical tree index* for long documents and *reasons* over that index for *retrieval*. It simulates how **human experts** navigate and extract knowledge from complex documents through **tree search**, enabling LLMs to *think* and *reason* their way to the most relevant document sections. It performs retrieval in two steps: 1. Generate a "Table-of-Contents" **tree structure index** of documents 2. Perform reasoning-based retrieval through **tree search**
