Semantic search in Amazon OpenSearch Service

Focus mode
Semantic search in Amazon OpenSearch Service - Amazon OpenSearch Service

Starting with OpenSearch version 2.9, you can use semantic search to help you understand search queries and improve search relevance. You can use semantic search in one of two ways – with neural search and with k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) search.

With OpenSearch Service, you can set up AI connectors for AWS services and external services. Using the console, you can also create an ML model with a AWS CloudFormation template. For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation to set up remote inference for semantic search.

For full documentation of semantic search, including a step-by-step guide to use semantic search, see Semantic search in the open source OpenSearch documentation.
