What is Natural Search?
Updated by Charudatta Mundale
Natural search is the search in which the user interacts with the system through regular spoken language, similar to Google search, instead of a query language of restricted vocabulary used in other interfaces.
How Tinace handles the Natural search
As the Natural search involves a large vocabulary, it is not an easy task for teaching machines to understand how the user communicates to get the required information.
Tinace has developed a Search engine that can understand the natural language.
The Search bar is designed to highlight words in the search statement as you type them. These highlighted words act as clickable tokens relevant to the query format to find the best results.
Tinace has also focused on enhancing the user experience where the search quickly adapts to the questions from the user and assists them in getting exactly what they are looking for.
Additionally, Search is also provided with the ASR (Active Speech Recognition) integration. This ASR integration helps users to get the result by speaking the question instead of typing it.
Search Interface
In the Search bar, click the colored tokens and select another option to change the original question to further analyze the data.
Tokenization
In the query, each highlighted word is stored and recognized as a token to help identify and render the most accurate results.
Auto correcting query
When you write a question in the Search bar, you may write it in a natural language. However, Tinace intelligently interprets the question and auto-corrects the question in a valid format that the system can understand to generate the analysis as expected.
Even if the question is incomplete, Tinace interprets it correctly and displays the exact analysis as per the expectations.
Auto inference
The name inference indicates the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a logical judgment. Auto inference in Tinace is the way Tinace analyzes the question and instead of displaying chart for all queries, it also runs the insights for certain queries.
No Fixed Query Format
Being Natural language enabled, Tinace does not restrict you to write your question in a specific format. You can write your question in a human language and Tinace can interpret it correctly to display the exact analysis as per your expectations.
Voice Recognition, a hands-free search with voice
The Search bar provides the voice recognition option by which you can enter your question by speaking instead of typing.
Before you start speaking, you must click the mic icon and then start speaking your question.
Tinace recognizes the question correctly even if you take a pause in speaking. Tinace interprets the entered question even if it is incomplete. Once you restart speaking and complete the remaining query, Tinace again interprets the full question and generates the analysis.
Samples
Let's say we are looking at a Retail Dataset, and we wanted to see the list of our top selling brands in the country. How would you ask that question with Tinace?
Question: What are the worst performing products?
Answer: Tinace displays a chart that is most relevant to the question entered in the Search bar and provides details on how it identified the context. Tinace understands the natural language that the users speak or type. It identifies that performing is associated with profit metric in the dataset and the worst 5 refers to the bottom. While combining the entire question together, it understands that it needs to find the worst products with the least profit.
You can Teach Tinace the business lingo and context to receive better results and get accurate answers.
Question: Compare my sales in 2011 vs 2012
Answer: Tinace identified that you wanted to compare and contrast the sales between the 2 years. It understands that the best visual representation is a bar chart when users are comparing two different aspects.

Search Enhancements
Add Guided Search Experience
The search functionality has now the added advantage of adding existing search suggestions from Search Guide to the query to auto-complete it. You now get suggestions based on history, next-word suggestions, auto-generated questions/suggestions from the system. This is very helpful, especially if you are a new user since it not only helps in formulating a query but also gets new suggestions for the query.
