Semantic search goes beyond matching exact keywords—it helps you find results based on meaning and context, not just specific words. With semantic search, you can ask questions naturally and Cypris will surface the most relevant patents, papers, and insights, even if they use different wording.

What Is Semantic Search?

Traditional keyword search looks for exact matches. Semantic search understands the intent and context of your query. This means you can:

• Search using questions, full sentences, or natural language.
  
  
• Discover related results, even if they use different terminology.
  
  
• Uncover hidden insights that might be missed with keyword search alone.
  
  

Examples:

Natural language:

‍“What are the latest innovations in battery recycling?”‍

Cypris will show research and patents relevant to that topic—even if they don’t use those exact words.

Broader coverage:‍

Searching for “biodegradable plastics” may also find results mentioning “compostable polymers,” “eco-friendly packaging,” or “sustainable materials.”

When to Use Semantic Search

• When you want to cast a wide net and discover related concepts.
  
  
• When you’re unsure of the exact terminology used in the field.
  
  
• When your search is complex or exploratory.
  
  

Tips for Getting the Best Results

• Use clear, specific questions or descriptions:
  The more context you provide, the better the results.
  
  
• Try both semantic and keyword search:
  For highly technical or niche topics, consider running both search types to ensure comprehensive coverage.
  
  
• Refine your query:
  If results are too broad or off-topic, add more details to your query.
  
  

Want More Advanced Search?

For even more control and customization, use the Cypris Query Builder—located at the far right side of the search bar. The Query Builder lets you combine filters, Boolean logic, and advanced options in a user-friendly interface.
