Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a semantic search framework that operates to provide a robust search feature of database hosted data. The disclosed framework (or tool) improves and expands how searches can be configured and executed. In some embodiments, the disclosed framework is configured to receive a search request for a term or phrase, contextualize it to a generally understood theme that is not hindered by language barriers, and leverage it in a manner that is able to retrieve the most relevant and accurate results. The disclosed framework can filter search requests in a manner that both expands its breadth while honing in on what is actually being requested. The disclosed framework can be embodied as computerized systems and methods that can topically search for content based on a query string (e.g., term or phrase), and output a results set that embodies the theme of a survey's feedback.
