## Metadata filtering and multitenancy support in AutoRAG

Apr 23, 2025 

[ AI Search ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/) 

You can now filter [AutoRAG](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/) search results by `folder` and `timestamp` using [metadata filtering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/configuration/indexing/metadata/) to narrow down the scope of your query.

This makes it easy to build [multitenant experiences](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/how-to/per-tenant-search/) where each user can only access their own data. By organizing your content into per-tenant folders and applying a `folder` filter at query time, you ensure that each tenant retrieves only their own documents.

**Example folder structure:**

Terminal window

```
customer-a/logs/customer-a/contracts/customer-b/contracts/
```

**Example query:**

JavaScript

```
const response = await env.AI.autorag("my-autorag").search({  query: "When did I sign my agreement contract?",  filters: {    type: "eq",    key: "folder",    value: "customer-a/contracts/",  },});
```

You can use metadata filtering by creating a new AutoRAG or reindexing existing data. To reindex all content in an existing AutoRAG, update any chunking setting and select **Sync index**. Metadata filtering is available for all data indexed on or after **April 21, 2025**.

If you are new to AutoRAG, get started with the [Get started AutoRAG guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/get-started/).
