Semantic Search

@@ Line 23: / Line 23: @@
 Here, the search terms in the texts are counted. Additionally, the search terms are weighted. If the search term is contained in the title, a higher weighting is applied in comparison to the search term occurring only in the description. <br />
-== Semantic Search ==
+== AI - Full-Text Search ==
-The semantic search only works with English texts. <br />
+The AI full-text search is an AI-supported semantic search. <br/>
-The more general the specified text is, the less precise the results of the semantic search will be.<br />
+An '''English text is required''' as input for the search. <br/>
-It is therefore recommended e.g. to copy only the most important or most interesting claim into the semantic search. (e.g. the first claim)<br />
