AI Search

Definitions

1. Search functionality enhanced by AI techniques such as semantic ranking, embeddings, query rewriting, or answer generation. AI search is often designed to understand intent and return more relevant results than strict keyword matching alone.

   In plain English: Search powered by AI to better understand meaning and intent.

   Example: "The docs portal added AI search so developers could ask natural-language questions instead of guessing exact page titles."
