Advanced search

As explained in Elasticsearch in Action, Second Edition

Advanced search provides rich results by interpreting query context and semantics and producing summaries, visualizations, or synthesized information.

Advanced search interprets query context and semantics to produce richer results than links alone. Generative AI can support summaries, relevant visualizations, synthesized information, and answers tailored to a user’s needs. section 1.6

Advanced search can extend a conventional search experience by:

  • Generating content summaries that make retrieved information easier to understand. section 1.6
  • Producing relevant visualizations alongside search results. section 1.6
  • Synthesizing new information to help answer a user’s question. section 1.6
  • Using previous interactions or current context to personalize results and suggestions. section 1.6
