Metaphor is a search engine based on a large language model
allows users to search using complete sentences and natural language, and can also simulate the way people share and talk about links on the Internet to query content.
Metaphor can also be used in conjunction with LLMs, allowing LLMs to connect to the Internet and query content outside their knowledge base.
Main functions:
Search using a specific descriptor or "ambience":
Users can use specific Words or expressions to describe the feel or vibe of the content they are trying to find. •For example, if a user wants to find some relaxing, romantic music, they can search using descriptors like "relaxing jazz" or "romantic dinner music". • This approach allows users to express their intent more precisely and find results that better match their emotions and vibes.
Search only for the entity types they want:
• Users can specify specific types or categories of search results they want. • For example, if a user is only interested in academic articles, they can specify to search only for academic articles, not blog posts, news reports, or other types of content. • This helps users find the specific type of content they want faster and filters out irrelevant results.
Find content that traditional search engines fail to show:
Metaphor can find content that may not be well represented by traditional search engines due to inappropriate keywords or other reasons displayed content.
Search by the link itself:
• Users can find other links that are most similar to it by providing a link. • This helps users find more resources related to a particular topic or content.
- Integration with Large Language Models (LLMs):
Metaphor can be used in conjunction with LLMs, allowing LLMs to query the outside world and consume content on the Internet. •This helps to overcome the limitations of LLMs such as generating misinformation, outdated knowledge, etc.
Metaphor API:
Metaphor provides an API that allows developers to integrate its search functionality into their own applications or services. • The API also provides clean, parsed HTML content without the need for web scraping. • For individual developers, Metaphor API provides 1000 free requests per month.
