Hi Mohamed Hussein,
Greetings & Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum! Thank you for posting your query!

For extracting text and metadata from documents, such as PDFs. It works well for searching and analyzing the text content but may struggle with images and non-text elements in PDFs.

The Code Interpreter is more versatile and can process complex file types, including PDFs that contain both images and text. It can be used to extract images.

If the document is highly mixed with images, charts, and text and you need to extract images the Code Interpreter would be the better tool.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further queries.

Hi Mohamed Hussein,
Greetings of the day!
To handle file uploads effectively, you don't need to assign both tools to every file. Instead, use a targeted approach based on the file's content and your needs. If the file mainly contains text, File Search is efficient. For files with images or mixed content, the Code Interpreter is better.
