Semantic search replaces exact keyword matching with numeric representations so queries and documents compare by meaning not spelling It uses vector embeddings to map words and phrases into a similarity space so searches for Tuscan cuisine or misspelled lasagna still surface relevant pages The approach powers systems like Google Search and returns related results for intentful queries rather than literal word overlap, demonstrating practical improvement over keyword-only retrieval.
