Query Intent

The Query Intent module provides a function to analyze a query and retrieve detected intent matches from the backend. Intent detection allows applications to understand what users are searching for and to adapt the search experience accordingly.

Functions

fetchQueryIntent()

Analyzes a query and returns detected intent matches.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
query	Query	✓	The query object to analyze for intent

Returns Promise<QueryIntentMatch[]> — array of detected query intent matches.

Example

fetch-query-intent.ts

import { fetchQueryIntent } from '@sinequa/atomic';

const intents = await fetchQueryIntent({ name: '_query', text: 'annual report 2024' });

intents.forEach(intent => {
  console.log('Intent:', intent);
});

tip

Query intent results can be used to trigger specialized UI behaviors, such as showing a specific answer card or applying a predefined filter when a particular intent is detected.
