What it does

Expands a search query into synonyms, boolean variants, and suggested facets

Takes a raw query string and returns an expanded payload: the canonical form, a synonym set worth searching, a boolean query ready for a search engine, and suggested facet filters. The original interface stays the same; the recall improves because more relevant variants are being tried in parallel.

When you’d reach for it

  • Expanding an informal parts query so a catalog returns relevant matches even when the technician types a nickname.
  • Resolving abbreviated product names against a documentation index before the knowledge base search runs.
  • Broadening trade-specific terms in a job-board match so candidate profiles surface across naming conventions.
