Background
Patrons increasingly expect search systems to understand the natural, conversational language they use every day.
Aspen’s Search Interpreter feature bridges this gap by automatically interpreting search queries and applying relevant facets behind the scenes. For example, a patron searching for “new romance books” will now be directed to recently published titles in the romance genre without needing to manually filter results.
The feature is highly configurable, allowing libraries to tailor it to their collections while adapting as formats and genres evolve.
