Concept Search introduces a transformative approach to optimizing search results by focusing on understanding the contextual and semantic essence of user inputs. This advanced search type delves into the nuances of language, allowing for a nuanced interpretation of queries that goes beyond traditional keyword-based searches. It's designed to capture the intent behind user queries, ensuring that the results are closely aligned with what users are genuinely looking for, thereby greatly enhancing user satisfaction and search relevance.

Navigation

1. After your account has Concept Search enabled by HawkSearch personnel, please go to the Workbench
2. Please click on the Concept Search in the left navigation

1. The first search field allows you to search for the name of an existing Field. If you know the name as it appears in the data feed, or a keyword from the name, type it into the "Field Name"
2. Search a field based on the type of Field by selecting an option in the drop down.
   1. Field values indexed "as is" AND are stemmed
   2. Field values are NOT stemmed
   3. Field values are ONLY stemmed (search only)
   4. Stored only, not used for search nor facets
3. Search a field based on the Data Type by selecting an option in the drop down.
   1. Boolean
   2. Datetime
   3. GeoPoint
   4. Numeric
   5. Text
4. You can also conduct a search based on the label of the Field. This name may differ from the corresponding field in the data field.
5. To search for a Field by any tags associated with it, enter the tags here.
6. Once you have added all search criteria, click the "Search" button to see your results.
7. You can also clear the search criteria to see all the fields.

How It Works

1. Enable Concept Search: Turn on the feature by toggling the switch next to the desired "text" type field you wish to use for Concept Search. Please note that, Concept Search works exclusively with text fields that contain textual descriptions rich in content. It is advisable to limit your selection to no more than 5 fields due to a system limit of 512 tokens (roughly 2500 characters or about 400 words) for optimal embedding generation.
   Suggested Fields to Get Started:
   1. Short Description Field: Provides concise, to-the-point summaries that capture essential information quickly.
   2. Long Description Field: Offers expansive, detailed information that cover all aspects of items or content, perfect for thorough insights.
   3. Title Field: Gives an initial idea of what the content or item is about, useful for a preliminary match.
      Remember, the goal is to select fields that provide meaningful content capable of enhancing Concept Search's ability to understand and match search queries accurately.
2. Adjust Viewing Options: To control how many fields are displayed on a single page, use the dropdown menu to select your preferred viewing quantity.
3. Navigate Pages: To move through the pages, you can either enter a specific page number directly or use the arrow buttons for step-by-step navigation.
4. Save Configurations: Once you've chosen the appropriate field for concept search, make sure to click Save to apply and preserve your settings.
5. Perform Full Index Rebuild: To integrate your changes and enable concept search embeddings, perform a full index rebuild
6. You will now be able to utilize the endpoints to make Concept Search request. For more details, please refer to this documentation.
