Key Features of Sitecore Search regarding the topic content discovery:
Through the predictive suggestions of answers and the type-ahead function – you start writing words and not just the word, but the entire search phrase is completed via suggestion – you have the chance to be one step ahead of the users. These AI-powered suggestions extract information from existing content and analyze it as you type. As is already the case with online shopping, here at Sitecore Search there are now also “did you mean” suggestion blocks that are based on matchings learned by the system and on information from the existing content. Also known from online shopping is the “People also ask” function, which suggests alternative questions that match the user’s search.
Of course, the presentation of the search and results is also important. With Sitecore Search, content from many different sources, such as several different websites, is presented uniformly and fully integrated, so that an absolutely seamless experience can be presented.

The search or “finding experience” is rounded off by an expanded semantic search and personalization of the results.
