Agentic Search for Context Engineering — Leonie Monigatti, Elastic

Getting context into an LLM is not just a retrieval problem. It is a search problem. This workshop digs into the part of context engineering that usually gets waved away: how agents actually decide what to pull from files, databases, memory, and the web, and why that choice often matters more than the model itself. Across semantic search, general-purpose database tools, shell-based retrieval, and agent skills, Leonie Monigatti shows where each search interface works, where it breaks, and how to combine them into a more effective retrieval stack. If you're building agents and trying to make retrieval less brittle, this is a practical guide to the real mechanics behind agentic search.
