Instead of asking users to guess the right category or putting the burden on editors to manually organize thousands of posts, this feature lets applications query and retrieve categories that match a search term, power autocomplete widgets, and surface relevant groupings of content across the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor operations leaders and content teams, that means better navigation, faster content curation, and clearer signals for SEO — all without needing deep developer resources.

This is the backbone for features like autocomplete suggestions in a backend content form, related-topic lists on article pages, or admin dashboards that help editors find and reassign content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eYou can use category search to build both front-end and back-end experiences: visitor-facing menus that adapt to search queries, editorial tools that speed up tagging and batch organization, and analytics workflows that count how frequently categories are used. In short, it turns category data from static labels into actionable signals your teams can rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI agents and workflow automation to category search multiplies its value. Smart agents can interpret intent, suggest cleaner taxonomies, and run repeatable tasks so your team doesn't have to.
