🤖 AI Search Features

1. Natural Language Understanding

The biggest feature of AI search is its ability to understand directional descriptions. Users only need to describe their needs or research direction, and AI will automatically associate relevant keywords and execute searches.

AI Search Working Principle

  1. Receive Directional Description: User inputs needs or research direction
  2. Intelligent Keyword Association: AI associates relevant keywords and concepts based on description
  3. Execute Search Matching: Use associated keywords to search in file library
  4. Intelligent Result Sorting: Sort search results by relevance

For example:

  • Input: "Help me find documents related to machine learning algorithms"
  • AI Association: machine learning, algorithms, deep learning, neural network, AI, model training, etc.
  • Search Matching: Find documents containing these keywords

2. Intelligent File Analysis

AI search not only matches file names but also analyzes:

  • File Content: Understand the actual information contained in documents
  • File Type: Identify file purpose and nature

3. Personalized Recommendations

The system learns user search and usage habits to provide personalized search results:

  • Frequently accessed files are prioritized
  • Files with higher relevance rank higher

  3. View Intelligent Results

    • AI will associate relevant keywords based on your directional description
    • Automatically search for files containing these keywords
    • Return the most relevant file list, sorted by relevance
