Intent-Driven Product Discovery: Beyond Keyword Matching

Discover how Semantix understands customer intent, use-cases, attributes, and price ranges—turning your search bar into a powerful product discovery engine.

Intent-Driven Product Discovery: Beyond Keyword Matching

The future of e-commerce search isn't about matching keywords—it's about understanding intent. Semantix transforms your search bar into an intent-driven product discovery engine that thinks like your customers.

What is Intent-Driven Search?

Intent-driven search understands what customers really want, not just what they type. When someone searches "something romantic for anniversary," traditional search looks for products containing those words. Semantix understands they want: - Premium products - Elegant presentation - Romantic occasions - Higher price points

How Semantix Understands Intent

Context Awareness

  • Semantix analyzes:
  • Use cases**: "gift for wine enthusiast" vs "weekday dinner wine"
  • Occasions**: "anniversary" suggests premium, "party" suggests quantity
  • Attributes**: "light," "bold," "elegant" map to product characteristics
  • Price ranges**: "affordable" vs "premium" guide results

Natural Language Processing

Customers don't need to learn search syntax. They can search naturally: - "What wine goes with steak?" - "Show me something under $50" - "I need elegant options for a dinner party"

Semantix understands all of these queries and returns relevant results.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Wine Discovery

**Query**: "something refreshing for summer barbecue"

**Traditional Search**: Returns products with "wine" and "barbecue" in the name **Semantix**: Understands the need for: - White or rosé wines - Light-bodied options - Casual, outdoor-friendly - Refreshing profiles

Example 2: Gift Shopping

**Query**: "gift for someone who loves Italian wine"

**Traditional Search**: Looks for exact matches **Semantix**: Understands: - Italian wine category - Gift context (premium options) - Personal preferences - Occasion appropriateness

The Business Impact

  • Intent-driven search delivers:
  • Higher conversion rates**: Customers find what they want faster
  • Better product discovery**: Relevant results even with vague queries
  • Reduced bounce rates**: Fewer frustrated searches
