How It Works

Did you mean: SUV or crossover?

What It Does
- 01
Ask Naturally
People search in plain language, not SQL. Intent is parsed and turned into multi-layered database queries.
- 02
Meaning, Not Keywords
Semantic embeddings match what people mean, so conversational phrasing still finds the relevant records.
- 03
Copes With How People Type
Fuzzy matching and synonyms handle misspellings, shorthand and regional terms.
- 04
Clarifies When Unsure
Weighted ranking blends the methods. Quick clarifying questions and "Did you mean" suggestions refine the results.

Control and Audit
Guardrails, where a person decides, and what gets logged.
- Guardrails
- Hard constraints such as price, date, region, stock or compliance rules are still enforced as SQL filters, so results stay accurate and auditable.
- Where a Person Decides
- When a question is ambiguous, Synaptic Search asks the person a quick clarifying question to refine the results.
- What Gets Logged
- Full audit trail, included on every line.
