Apple decided to use artificial intelligence in the Spotlight search feature in the iPhone operating system, as the company seeks to benefit from artificial intelligence techniques in the new version of the smart device operating system, iOS 18.
It is noteworthy that the Spotlight search tool allows the user to search for things on his device or on the Internet, which makes it an alternative to the Google search engine. With iOS 18, Apple will make it easier to search for content in applications, using neutral or semantic language in the query.
Spotlight allows you to search for content on developer apps, but it will only return results if you strictly adhere to the search terms. With the addition of semantic search capabilities, users will be able to search for content on apps using search terms that are similar in meaning, according to Apple.
At the same time, Apple app developers can use the framework they want to appear with search results on Spotlight, which is saved on a private index on the user’s devices and cannot be accessed by other apps. With semantic search capabilities, Spotlight’s understanding of developers’ content will be further improved, and it will be able to search within apps in its own way.
Apple said this type of research question takes advantage of machine learning models that are downloaded to the device and run through the application’s processing, with the ability to download or delete them at any time.
