What is Semantic search?

Semantic search finds results based on the meaning of a query rather than matching its exact words. It uses embeddings to understand that different phrases can ask the same thing.

Why it matters for your business

Users find what they need even when they do not know the exact term, which makes help centers, product catalogs and internal documents far more useful.

Example

Searching an internal wiki for "time off when a baby arrives" returns the parental leave policy, even though those words do not appear in the query.
