Semantic search (beta)

Warning This feature is currently unavailable in any UI.

By default, search uses a keyword-based approach, commonly known as keyword or lexical search. Keyword search looks for resources that contain the search text you enter. For example, if you search for data governance, keyword search provides results that contain the exact phrase data governance or the individual words data and governance. It doesn't account for synonyms or related concepts. In contrast, semantic search goes beyond the literal keyword interpretation by understanding the context, intent, and meaning behind your search text, thus providing more nuanced and relevant results.

As an administrator, you can enable the Semantic Search feature to integrate semantic search with keyword search. This combined approach ensures users get a more comprehensive set of results that match not only their search text but also their actual intent, even if specific keywords aren't present in their search text. With semantic search, they might find results such as information integrity or risk management when they search for data governance. This way, they can discover relevant content that might be missed with a purely keyword-based approach.
