Traditional search engines can only search based on keywords, while intelligent search engines can provide more accurate search results based on users’ search history, hobbies, geographical location and other information. In addition, intelligent search engines can also use technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing to understand users’ search intentions and provide more intelligent search services.
