Build Semantic Search That Understands What People Mean, Not Just What They Type
Keyword search breaks the moment users search the way they actually think. Semantic search understands intent, context, and meaning — surfacing the right results even when the exact words don't match. Zilliz Cloud powers semantic search at any scale.
Semantic Search Applications Powered by Zilliz Cloud
Power fast, accurate semantic search experiences that retrieve the right information across every data source using Zilliz Cloud
Enterprise Knowledge Search
Let employees search internal docs, wikis, Slack threads, and emails by meaning — not just keywords. Surface the right answer from millions of documents in milliseconds.
Product Search & Discovery
Understand what shoppers mean — even with vague, conversational, or multilingual queries. Return relevant products that keyword search would miss.
Customer Support & Ticket Search
Match incoming tickets to known solutions by intent, not keyword overlap. Reduce resolution time and help agents find answers faster.
Talent & Job Matching
Match candidates to roles by skills, experience, and fit — not just keyword overlap. Surface the most relevant resumes and job descriptions using semantic understanding.
Code Search & Discovery
Search codebases by describing what the code does, not how it's named. Help developers find relevant functions, patterns, and examples across repositories.
Academic Research Discovery
Surface relevant papers, patents, and datasets by research intent — across disciplines, languages, and terminology variations.
Content & Media Search
Help users find articles, videos, and creative assets by topic and meaning. Power smarter content discovery for publishers, platforms, and DAM systems.
Regulatory & Policy Search
Search across regulatory filings, compliance documents, and policy databases by semantic similarity — catching relevant clauses that keyword search overlooks.
Why Zilliz?
Why AI Teams Choose Zilliz Cloud?
Most search tools still rely on keyword matching. Zilliz Cloud combines dense semantic vectors with keyword filters and metadata — in a single hybrid query — so your search understands intent and context without sacrificing precision.
100K+QPS
Always fast, even at enterprise scale
Semantic search workloads involve complex embedding lookups across billions of documents. Zilliz Cloud sustains 100K+ queries per second with stable p99 latency — so search stays instant even when your entire organization is using it.
< 10msLatency
Instant answers, no matter how you ask
Whether a user types a question, pastes a paragraph, or searches in a different language, Zilliz Cloud returns the most semantically relevant results in under 10ms — at any scale.
10B+Vectors
Index every document, ticket, and record — in one system
Enterprise knowledge bases grow fast. Zilliz Cloud handles 10B+ vectors without sharding or re-architecture — indexing everything from support tickets to legal contracts in a single unified system.
-10xCost
Make semantic search economically viable at scale
Embedding and indexing large text corpora can get expensive. Zilliz Cloud's vector quantization and tiered storage reduce infrastructure costs by up to 10x — so you can search more data for less.
Hybrid search out of the box
Combine dense vector search with keyword matching and metadata filters in a single query — for results that balance semantic relevance with precision.
Automatic and elastic scaling
Automatically scales compute and storage up or down as your traffic and data size changes — with no capacity planning, index rebuilding, or sharding ever required.
Native multi-tenant architecture
Built-in tenant isolation keeps AI workloads secure and prevents noisy-neighbor slowdowns — so millions of teams or apps can run reliably on the same platform.
Ease of use
Go from zero to production-ready vector search in minutes. Zilliz Cloud runs the infrastructure, handles scaling, and manages the Ops — so your team never has to.
Multi-cloud flexibility
Run on AWS, Azure, or GCP across 30+ regions worldwide, ensuring Zilliz Cloud's capabilities are always close to your users and within your infrastructure strategy.
Enterprise-grade reliability and compliance
99.95% SLA with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance — plus regional failover and BYOC support for enterprise workloads.
