Semantic search works anywhere there’s a search bar in GovTribe. You can search broadly using the global search at the top of your screen or run more focused searches on specific pages. Here’s just some of what you can search semantically:
Basically, if it’s on GovTribe, you can find it with semantic search.
✅ Find more opportunities even if you don’t use the exact wording
✅ Explore new markets without needing to know government jargon
✅ Connect the dots with results across files, contacts, vendors, and awards
✅ Get results even when services have multiple names or acronyms
For example, here's how you could use semantic search to find federal opportunities.
1. Go to the Federal Contract Opportunities page
2. Click the dropdown button on the search bar
3. Select Semantic
4. Enter your search phrase
5. Hit Enter or click the magnifying glass icon
You’ll see results that match your search—even without the exact keywords that appear in the opportunity. And if you want to narrow your results, just apply filters by agency, due date, set-aside, and more like you would with a standard search.
