Cognitive Search

MicroStrategy ONE (June 2024) introduces support for cognitive search, a centralized search service that adds support when a user performs a search using synonyms, typos, abbreviations, natural language, and multilingual search queries.

Cognitive search is supported in MicroStrategy Cloud environments.

Cognitive search has the following advantages:

  • Bring search experiences into the cognitive era: Cognitive search can help you search for synonyms, types, abbreviations, natural language, and multilingual search queries.

  • Improve performance: Cognitive search is 1.7 times faster than Lucene Search when you search and load objects with 20 concurrent threads.

  • CPU/Memory usage: 46% better efficiency in CPU resource usage and 23% reduction in memory usage.

  • High availability and auto-scaling: Cognitive search is a MicroStrategy-managed cloud-native service. With high availability and auto-scaling enabled, it can auto-scale up and down based on resource usage.

  • Search support: Supports existing search capabilities and results plus augmented semantic search.
