Search

Searching in Standard searches all standard records on the hard drive. Since third-party services or the system itself requires your permission or action to commit changes to records, all records in the Standard System belong to you and should be universally searchable.

Articles

Articles article are a standard table of records in the Standard system that contains all Wikipedia articles, all verifiable Common Crawl web pages, and points of interest. When searches are executed, Standard will always try searching the article standard if context allows. Searching 'when is my next meeting' would not trigger an article standard search because articles will not contain anything that would concern your next meeting. If you search 'how to make chicken noodle soup', then standard will search for a recipe to make soup from the article standard.

Generic Search

Generic search is when your query and the answer to it, is straight forward. 2 + 2 will always be four (or fish). Ford Motor Company will always be founded on June 16, 1903. These are answers that can quickly be deduced from the onboard data set and only requires simple machine learning and natural language processing (no massive ML necessary).

Detailed Search

Detailed search is when your query can have multiple answers (results). This may be if you are looking for images of things or suggestions to go out to eat. These searches may require a little more time to gather additional information, but the information is already on your device so that Standard does not have to scour the internet.

Content Search

Content search can be generic or detailed searches but require Standard to look into additional standards. When queries are submitted to Standard, an initial context sensing stage is executed to determine the type of query that is being made and if engagement with the language model is required to fullfill the request. Standard can use garden variety NLP algorithms to answer 'When is my next meeting'. If you ask 'When is my next meeting and is there anything I need to prepare for it?', then Standard will trigger a LM request (Standard Intelligence) and generate an answer.

Content searches are searches that are outside of the article standard but do not require the LM to produce a result. This search type could take longer to process than generic and detailed searching, but will be faster than engaging with an LM.

Intelligent Searches

Typically, if your query prompts follow up action or has more than one question, Standard will engage with the onboard language model to fulfill your request. The LLM is covered in the Intelligence section, but it is important to note that this type of searching will not always be triggered. Keep it simple stoopid.
