Yes technically it is RAG, but a lot of the community is associating RAG with vector search specifically.

it does? why? the term RAG as I understand it leaves the methodology for retrieval vague so that different techniques can be used depending on the, er, context.. which makes a lot more sense to me

Hype. There's nothing wrong with using, e.g., full-text search for RAG.
