Bug: Vector store status: completed does not guarantee searchability - file_search returns empty results silently

While what you’re describing here might be an issue it’s not the same issue the post describes. VB is correct in his understanding of the issue but now there’s some ambiguity here. The issue is strictly when creating a new vector store. Once the vector store exists, I’ve never had a problem with weird retrievals. I wouldn’t really call it an edge case, though. It happens every single time this flow is run and it’s so insidious I think there are probably tons of people experiencing this but without realizing it. For big documents I imagine it wouldn’t be that uncommon for users to create and immediately query a vector store. I am currently using a workaround where I have some spinup delay and status probe where I wait until the vector store size stops increasing, but this should really be baked into vector store creation/querying.
