Feature Overview

Natural Language Search enables users to interact with list data in a more intuitive and conversational manner, significantly simplifying data exploration and discovery. By supporting both conversational phrases and specific text formats, this feature streamlines the search experience and makes data insights readily accessible.

Feature Capabilities

Natural Language Search offers the following key capabilities:

Natural Language Queries: Interprets and retrieves precise data from conversational queries consisting of more than two words, e.g., Orders over 500 dollars.

Text-based Search: If you enter two words or fewer, the list defaults to a text search. For specific text searches exceeding two words, enclose your search term in double quotes.
