## AI Search Synthesis
−
## AI in Search
+
When you search the community, the results page can show an AI-generated answer drawn from the top matching threads and articles.
−
Site search matches members' queries against thread titles, posts, and articles by keyword. mobieusAI adds two things on top of that: a Q&A assistant that answers in plain language, and smarter ranking that understands intent.
+
### Using it
−
### Ask the mobieusAI assistant
+
1. Enter a query in the search bar.
+
2. On the results page, a **Synthesized answer** card appears at the top (when enabled).
+
3. The card shows the answer and links to the source threads used.
−
When the Q&A assistant is enabled, members can ask a question and get a written answer drawn from your knowledge base and the forum threads they can see. The answer **cites its sources by linking the pages and threads it used**, so members can open the originals and verify.
−
−
Turn it on at **Admin → AI** with **mobieusAI Q&A** (the member-facing assistant). It answers only from content the member already has access to.
−
−
### Smarter search ranking
−
−
Two toggles improve how results are ordered:
−
−
- **Semantic forum search** blends meaning-based relevance with keyword matching, so a search finds the right thread even when the wording differs.
−
- **Semantic retrieval** lets the Q&A assistant match on intent rather than exact words, with keyword search as a fallback.
### Accuracy
+
The synthesis is based on community content and may not reflect the most recent changes. Always verify by reading the linked sources.
−
AI answers are built from your community's own content and may not reflect the most recent changes. Always confirm by reading the linked sources.
+
### Admin: enabling synthesis
−
### Requirements
+
Go to **Admin → AI** and enable **Search synthesis**. Requires a BYOK Anthropic API key.
−
These features need the master AI switch on, your own Anthropic API key (BYOK), and the matching toggle enabled at **Admin → AI**. AI features are available on Pro, Creator Plus, and Sovereign plans.
