Microsoft Power Pages: Site search with generative AI experience

Reading time: 2 min(s)

Imagine visiting a website and effortlessly finding exactly what you’re looking for without needing to sift through endless pages or refine search terms repeatedly. This is the future of site search, where advanced technology not only understands what you’re asking but also provides concise, relevant answers that meet your needs instantly. The latest update to Microsoft Power Pages introduces such a capability, transforming how users interact with and find information on websites.

 

Enhanced Search Experience with Generative AI

Microsoft Power Pages now offers a site search feature enhanced by generative AI summarization, available from version 9.6.3.41 onward. This feature moves beyond the limitations of traditional keyword-based searches by allowing users to enter natural language prompts. Instead of struggling with specific phrases, users can ask questions or describe what they need in their own words, making the search experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

 

Intent-Based Content Retrieval

One of the standout features of this update is its ability to understand the intent behind search queries. The AI doesn’t just look for matching words; it interprets the overall meaning and retrieves content that best matches the user’s needs. This ensures that the results are not only accurate but also highly relevant, grounded entirely in the website’s existing content.

 

Precise Summarization with Citations

Generative AI doesn’t just pull up pages; it provides concise summaries that capture the essential points of the content. These summaries are designed to give users the information they need at a glance, saving time and improving efficiency. Moreover, each summary includes citations that link back to the original content, allowing users to explore further if needed. This feature ensures transparency and traceability, maintaining the integrity of the information presented.

 

Configurable Search Options

Understanding that different users have different needs, Power Pages offers configurable search options. Site administrators can choose to display both the new AI-generated summaries and traditional keyword search results side by side or opt for one over the other. This flexibility allows for a tailored search experience that can be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the site’s audience.

 

Conclusion

The integration of generative AI into Microsoft Power Pages’ site search marks a significant step forward in enhancing user experience. By enabling natural language searches, intent-based retrieval, and precise summarization, this update makes it easier for users to find what they need quickly and efficiently. For businesses looking to optimize their website’s usability and ensure that their visitors have a seamless experience, embracing this technology is essential.
