Semantic search

Search that matches on meaning rather than exact keywords, usually via embeddings.

Semantic search compares the meaning of a query and a document, so a page can match a question even when it shares few of the same words. It is the retrieval style behind most AI answer engines.

So write for the question rather than the keyword. Covering a topic clearly makes you findable across the many ways people phrase the same intent.
