# Semantic Search in French and German
Launch date: June 30th, 2022
We are excited to launch Semantic Search in French and German. This feature enables you to **leverage our French and German semantic understanding signals into the highest revenue drivers**, specifically Search Ranking and Search Recall.
## 🌟 What's in it for your business
### <li>Search Ranking</li>
Improve ranking for torso/tail queries in French/German by understanding user intent from the product type. This provides much **more accurate and relevant results** compared to traditional keyword searches, ultimately improving your conversions and revenue.
### <li>Search Recall</li>
Reduce null results with smart query relaxation, which allows us to show similar products when we can’t find an exact match. For example, if a customer searches for Brand A armchair and that product doesn’t exist, we can show Brand B armchairs that are very similar instead of taking the customer to a null results page. This creates a **better experience for the user** and should lead to higher conversions.
### 👉 How to enable this feature
All new and existing customers with French or German catalogs will have this enabled by default. Explore our [_documentation_](🔗) to learn more about this feature.
