Semantic Search

Semantic Search is a way for computers to understand what people mean when they type or say something, instead of only matching exact words. In Natural Language UX, this helps users find what they need by looking at the meaning behind their words, even if they use different phrases or make spelling mistakes. Designers can use Semantic Search to make search bars and chatbots smarter, so users can ask questions in their own words and still get good results. This creates smoother conversations between people and digital products, making it easier for everyone to get the right information quickly.
