Intelligent Search

Meet Luigi's Box: The Ultimate Intelligent Search Solution

Intelligent search technology is different from standard search because it utilizes machine learning models and neural networks to perform a semantic search. This type of search is able to understand the intent behind the search requests and provide intelligent answers and results with valuable insights.

Explanation

What is an intelligent search?

Intelligent search technology is powered by artificial intelligence employed by search engines to deliver the most relevant results based on their search intent.

Also called AI-powered search or cognitive search, the intelligent search engine investigates searchers’ true intent and crawls over information databases to retrieve more valuable results—compared to traditional search.

Key differences

How is intelligent search different from standard search?

A standard search provides limited results inspired directly by the search terms.

On the other hand, intelligent AI-powered search shows a human-like understanding of search queries and delivers accurate and more relevant results, which leads to a much better user experience.

What can it do?

Purpose

How intelligent search works

Filters content

The AI‑powered search machine crawls over a bulky database of information to deliver the most relevant search result. To avoid a long queue of irrelevant search results, this search application uses advanced filters to streamline the result, offering the most useful data.

Analyzes document structure

The intelligent search process employs document scanning to analyze the form of a document and its structure. It groups information, based on their formats, into different categories: finance, legal, videos, and presentations. This advanced technology employs natural language query understanding to home in on the searcher’s intent.

Natural language processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP) refers to a computer’s ability to interpret human language. The search uses this technology to understand visitors’ keyword search logic and find relevant content from a digital content database. The AI search feature interprets commands imputed in the search box and gives more accurate answers and results.

Uses machine learning

Machine Learning matches historical searches and presents keywords to predict user intent. A visitor searches for ‘green socks’ and begins a new search for ‘socks for men.’ The AI-inspired machine learning would suggest results that link both keywords. For instance, ‘green socks for men,’ ‘customized green socks for men. ‘The machine continues to ‘learn’ and update its knowledge of the searcher’s intent.
