Semantic search: why it matters for ecommerce | Algolia

Semantic search, a versatile technology that improves site search relevance and ranking, is becoming increasingly accessible to businesses. Unlike keyword-based search, semantic search understands the meaning and intention behind queries, making it easier for customers to find relevant products. This technology reduces the need for manual synonym creation or additional keyword stuffing, allowing businesses to save resources while improving customer experience and revenue. Algolia's hybrid search combines vector search with keyword search to deliver faster, more accurate results without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
