| Definition |
Semantic search uses meaning, context, entities, or vector representations to match queries with relevant information rather than relying only on exact keyword matches.
Semantic Search is a Database concept associated with document-oriented storage, where information is organized in flexible document structures rather than only fixed relational tables. In MongoDB contexts, the term may also reflect platform-specific behavior or documentation conventions.

| Context & Usage |
It supports enterprise search, AI search, knowledge bases, and retrieval-augmented generation, where users may ask questions in natural language instead of using exact document terms.
Developers and data architects use this concept when modeling flexible records, designing application data access, or scaling document-oriented systems.
Related concepts include Document, Collection and NoSQL.
