Overview
In a modern data ecosystem, finding the right asset should be intuitive and fast. Blindata’s Semantic Search goes beyond simple keyword matching to understand your context, meaning, and intent. Whether you are a data steward looking up a table, a business analyst exploring a domain, or an AI agent gathering context for a task, search is the front door to your governed metadata.
Results are filtered by your access controls, the same policies that apply in the rest of Blindata. Powerful discovery never compromises security.
Search by name
Direct, exact lookups when you know the identifier of a table, column, or glossary term.
Full-text search
Flexible keyword queries across metadata and descriptions, with tolerance for typos and partial matches.
Semantic search
Discovery based on meaning and natural language to bridge the gap between business questions and technical assets.
Hybrid search
The best of both worlds: full-text precision combined with semantic understanding for comprehensive, accurately ranked results.
Features
Semantic Search powers discovery across the Blindata platform and underpins the Blindata AI Assistant and Context Layer for Your Agents. Before an assistant drafts metadata or an external agent generates SQL, it needs to find the right concepts, data products, and physical assets; search is how that context is retrieved.
Choosing the right mode
All search modes work with your existing filters, so you can refine results while respecting governance and security rules. For configuration options and API details, see the Semantic Search guide in the Help Center.
