What problem does it solve?

This skill enables semantic search across documents and the web to surface conceptually related content beyond exact keyword matches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic Web Search: Find content by meaning, not just keywords.
  • Code Context Search: Locate programming patterns and API usage.
  • Company Research & Market Insights: Surface competitive and business information.
  • Use cases include academic research, competitive intelligence, code discovery, and broad topic exploration.

Quick Start

Invoke the Exa semantic search tools to perform neural search, code context queries, or company research and review the top results.

FAQPage Schema
How does semantic search find content beyond exact keyword matches?

Semantic search finds conceptually related content by understanding meaning and context rather than relying on exact keyword matching. It leverages neural search to surface documents that share conceptual similarity with your query.

How do I search for code context and programming patterns using Exa?

You can search for code context by invoking the code context search tool to locate programming patterns and API usage. It returns structured results that help you discover relevant code snippets and implementation examples.

Can I use semantic search for company research and competitive intelligence?

Yes, semantic search supports company research by surfacing competitive and business information across online sources. You can gather market insights and corporate intelligence using the dedicated company research tool.

Does Exa web search support filtering results by domain and date?

Yes, Exa web search supports optional domain and date filters to narrow results. You can also use autoprompt and result-type controls to refine the structured output returned by the search.

What is the best way to use neural search for academic research?

The best way to use neural search for academic research is to query broad topics and let the semantic engine surface conceptually related documents. This approach finds relevant literature even when exact terminology differs.

Are there limitations when using semantic search for code exploration?

Semantic search for code exploration relies on neural matching rather than exact syntax indexing, so it may not surface every instance of a specific function name. It is best suited for discovering patterns and API usage contextually.
