  • Structure your search by diving into Spideo semantics and use it to generate your own thematic combinations. “I need a new editorial line for Halloween, I’ll try combining the Strange and Creepy moods with the Dark Atmosphere keyword so it’ll show me the most relevant content on my VOD platform.”
  • Free search allows efficient and accurate Find As You Type (FAYT) and keyword combination functionalities.
  • Structured search enables advanced queries through combined semantic keywords.
  • Queries use multiple categories of data.

Search beyond catalog

Search Beyond Catalog is the ultimate search feature for User Retention. Use it to show relevant content to the user even when a searched title is not available on your catalog. 

It is done in 2 steps:

  1. Autocomplete and FAYT (Find-as-you-type) features help quickly identify the exact movie or TV show title the user has started typing in the search bar. It’s an intersectional search, as titles will be shown wether they are available or not on the platform.

  2. If the queried content is unavailable, Search Beyond will identify its Semantic Fingerprint and use it to show the most semantically similar contents which are available on the platform. 
  • Start typing any content title.
  • Get instant suggestions of full titles.
  • Select the desired content and start watching.
  • If the selected content is unavailable on the platform, see a full list of available, semantically relevant results.
  • User engagement and retention stays intact through Search as a discovery tool.
