General Questions About Thalius Search

What is Thalius Search?
Thalius Search is an AI-powered product discovery and search engine for e-commerce, combining keywords, advanced embeddings (semantic search), and interactive sliding search for a smarter, more intuitive user experience.

How does semantic search differ from traditional keyword search?
Semantic search understands the meaning and intent behind queries, surfacing relevant results even if the exact keywords aren’t matched. In contrast, traditional keyword search only finds literal word matches, which can miss conceptually similar products.

What are 'embeddings' in AI search?
Embeddings are numerical representations of data—like product descriptions or queries—that encode meaning and context. They allow Thalius Search to connect conceptually similar items and improve discovery, even across languages and with synonyms.

What is sliding search and how does it work?
Sliding search enables users to dynamically refine search results in real time using interactive sliders (e.g., price, color, category), making exploration easier and faster.

How can Thalius Search boost my conversion rates?
With more accurate, relevant, and engaging search results, users find what they want faster, reducing search abandonment and boosting conversion rates up to 2 times over basic search solutions.

Is Thalius Search easy to implement with my existing tech stack?
Yes. Thalius integrates via API or plugins with all major e-commerce platforms and search engines, typically requiring no major system overhaul.

Does Thalius Search support multilingual catalogs?
