Is It possible to search resume without indexing first?

No, it is not possible to search resumes without indexing first when using RChilli’s Search & Match APIs.

Here’s a detailed explanation:

Parsing vs. Indexing – Key Difference

• Parsing: This step extracts structured data (like name, skills, education, etc.) from a resume using the Resume Parser API.

• Indexing: This step stores the structured data into a searchable database, making it usable for search and match operations.

So, parsing prepares the data, but indexing makes it searchable.

• If you only parse a resume, it is not stored in RChilli’s system and therefore cannot be searched later.
• To make a resume searchable, it must be indexed using RChilli’s indexing functionality.

Combined Option: Parse and Index API

To streamline the process, RChilli offers a ParseAndIndex API that performs both operations in one call:

• It parses the resume.

• Immediately indexes the parsed data into the Search & Match database.

Reference: Parse and Index API documentation.

Data Storage Consideration

Although RChilli does not permanently store data from the Resume Parser API, the Search and Match module temporarily stores indexed data in a secure environment to facilitate fast and efficient search operations.

If needed, all indexed data can be removed using the DeleteAllDocuments API for a fresh start.
