Enable Natural Language Search for Lists in Power Pages (Preview)


We’re pleased to introduce a key usability enhancement for lists in Power Pages: Natural Language (NL) Search. This feature empowers users to effortlessly filter and retrieve data using intuitive conversational queries powered by AI or straightforward text-based searches.

Feature Overview

Natural Language Search enables users to interact with list data in a more intuitive and conversational manner, significantly simplifying data exploration and discovery. By supporting both conversational phrases and specific text formats, this feature streamlines the search experience and makes data insights readily accessible.

Important: Ensure your Power Pages site is updated to version 9.7.4.x or later to utilize this feature.

How to enable this feature

You can enable Natural Language Search for your existing lists with the following simple steps:

  1. Select the existing list you want to enhance.
  2. Click Edit List > More options.
  3. Under More options, locate the Enable search in this list toggle.
  4. Turn this toggle On, then ensure Search with natural language is also activated.
  5. Save your changes.

Your list is now ready for natural language search interactions!

Feature Capabilities

Natural Language Search offers the following key capabilities:

  • Natural Language Queries: Interprets and retrieves precise data from conversational queries consisting of more than two words, e.g., Orders over 500 dollars.
  • Text-based Search: If you enter two words or fewer, the list defaults to a text search. For specific text searches exceeding two words, enclose your search term in double quotes.
  • Search Suggestions: Displays dynamic suggestions based on the table data. Users can click a suggested query to instantly perform a search, streamlining their experience and reducing effort.

We are looking forward to your feedback

We continue to improve and refine Power Pages, and your insights are invaluable. Explore the new Natural Language Search feature and share your thoughts and experiences. Your feedback is crucial in shaping the future of this feature. We want to hear from you!
