Conversational Search

Conversational search enables users to interact with search engines using natural language, follow‑up questions and contextual references instead of keywords.

📅 Updated August 3, 2025🏷️ AI

Conversational search transforms how we find information online by letting us talk to search engines like we would a knowledgeable friend. Instead of typing rigid keywords, you can ask questions naturally, build on previous searches, and dig deeper into topics through an ongoing dialogue.

This AI-driven approach makes searching feel intuitive and conversational. You might start by asking "What causes climate change?" then follow up with "How does that affect coastal cities?" without having to repeat context or start over. The search engine remembers your conversation and helps you explore ideas step by step, making discovery more fluid and human-centered than ever before.

The key difference is the shift from treating search as a series of isolated keyword queries to viewing it as a collaborative conversation where you and the AI work together to uncover the information you're seeking.
