It's really not.

You are compressing the information in that dataset. That means the model has to learn characteristics of the information in the data that represent it. This is one of the reasons why some argue that compression is a form of intelligence[1]

It's a very different mechanism to a search index or database even if in some case it appears to work similarly.
