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 on 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.

Enable the Cognitive Search

Contact MicroStrategy Support to enable cognitive search. Cognitive search must be enabled before you can use global search.
