Help users find what they needâeven if the words they use donât match with yours. Auto Synonyms uses AI to bridge the gap between terms visitors search for and the language in your content.
AUTO SYNONYMNS
Up to 74% of users avoid websites that deliver a bad site search experience. One of the top reasons? They search for products or information using words your content doesnât include.Â
Think: âsweaterâ vs. âjumper,â or âapply for fundingâ vs. âgrant application.â
Auto Synonyms solves this vocabulary mismatch automaticallyâlinking synonyms, related phrases, and alternate language with no manual effort.
Auto Synonyms improves your internal search behind the scenes. Here’s how it turns a dead-end search into new content discovery:
When a user enters a query that returns zero results, Auto Synonyms flags it for review.
It checks WordNet, a trusted lexical database, to find closely related terms.
The system checks whether each synonym makes sense in context.
If the synonym passes the test, itâs added to your index for next time.
The best part? It gets smarter with every search. The more you add, the more accurate the results.Â
Auto Synonyms adapts to the language and search behavior unique to your fieldâdelivering better results every time.
Improve product visibility by linking varied product names.
Example: âSneakersâ also returns âathletic shoes.â
Make academic content more accessible by connecting related research terms.
Example: âGlobal warmingâ searches deliver âclimate changeâ materials too.
Keep content discoverable even as terminology shifts.
Example: âPresidential electionsâ also brings up ânational pollsâ coverage.
Simplify complex financial language for broader user engagement.
Example: âShort-term bondsâ surfaces âtreasury bills.â
Bridge industry-specific jargon to streamline decision-making.
Example: âEmployee performance metricsâ links to âworkforce productivity indicators.â
Unlike traditional search, Auto Synonyms uses AI and real user behavior to automate, contextualize, and continuously improve synonym matching.
