Semantic Search

Search that understands meaning and intent rather than just keyword matching.

In more detail

Semantic search uses embeddings and similarity to find relevant results based on meaning. Handles synonyms, context, and intent. Improved with vector databases and language models. Better than keyword search for natural language queries.

Examples

  • Google's semantic search
  • E-commerce product search
  • Document search
  • Question answering
