Searching for Meaning: What Real World Semantic Search Looks Like
Too Long; Didn't Read
Semantic Search is a search method for surfacing highly relevant results based on the**meaning** of the query, context, and content. It allows users to find things more naturally and with better support nuance than highly sophisticated but rigid traditional relevancy methods. Examples of companies implementing some form of semantic search include eBay, Shopee, Ikea, Walmart, and many others. You can build semantic search experiences mixing vector databases, traditional search engines, and LLMs.
