1 What is Semantic Search? The Workopolis semantic search engine will: Intuitively understand what the user is actually looking for versus searching solely on matching the keywords the user has entered.

Return search results based on what it believes the searcher is intending to find.

Relevant experience in the Career Objective. 5. Additional related skills under the Skills section. 6. And much more.
