Signal Layer — Stop sending users to a list of links. Start giving them answers.
Traditional website search was built for a different era. It matches keywords to pages and leaves users to do the rest — scanning results, clicking through, backtracking, trying again. On a large or complex site, that gap between a question and a useful answer creates real friction, and real drop-off.
AI Website Search closes that gap. It understands what users are actually looking for, draws on your approved content and broader relevant sources, and returns clear, accurate answers — keeping users on track and reducing the effort it takes to find what they need.
— how it works
How does AI search move from keywords to intent?
Where traditional search matches keywords to pages, AI search interprets intent. A user asking a nuanced question — about a course, a policy, a process, an eligibility requirement — receives a concise, relevant answer rather than a list of links to work through.
The system prioritises your approved website content and draws on broader sources where relevant, always with transparent attribution so users and administrators can see exactly where responses come from. That transparency also makes it straightforward for your team to audit answers, tune sources and close gaps over time.

— governance
How is AI search governed?
Search responses are drawn only from approved, indexed sources. Guardrails are in place to reduce the risk of hallucination or off-topic responses. Reporting on search behaviour — what users are asking, where content gaps appear, which queries go unanswered — is available to support ongoing content improvement.
No user data is permanently retained or used for model training, and every answer traces back to a named source on your site so administrators can verify exactly what was surfaced and why.
