smartQuery: The Intent Revolution in Site Search Optimization
The days when customers used precise keywords are gone. This is why Intent-Based Site Search Optimization is the only way forward. smartQuery solves this fundamental problem by identifying clusters of search terms that share the same underlying purchase intent.
The Problem - No Intent-Based Site Search
This shift isn’t temporary – it’s accelerating. Shoppers’ vernacular changes by the quarter. No amount of manual rule creation can keep pace with this evolution of language.
This leads to a central problem: rule-based search systems don’t understand what customers mean, only what they type in exactly. The consequences are clear:
- Manual maintenance explodes, yet remains incomplete.
- New terms, spellings, and slang variants lead to zero results.
- Valuable traffic evaporates because the search doesn’t understand the customer’s language.
In short, the language gap is growing, and traditional search logic structurally cannot close it.
For revenue owners, this creates an impossible challenge: how do you connect customers with products when you can’t predict how they’ll search for them?

Direct consequence
Failed searches directly impact your bottom line
Fatal Language Gaps
Frustrating for customers – devastating for profitability.
According to research from Harris Poll, 53% of customers abandon sites after poor search experiences.
This language gap isn’t just frustrating for customers – it’s devastating for profitability. Each unmatched search query represents lost revenue, wasted marketing spend, and potential lifetime value walking out your virtual door.
The Solution
smartQuery solves this fundamental problem by identifying clusters of search terms that share the same underlying purchase intent.
Instead of treating each variant as a separate query requiring individual optimization, smartQuery consolidates them and selects the most engaging representative query for each cluster. This makes it possible to replace the query instead of the entire search platform.
Insights From The Field
