# Search (SQL Server)
  [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] provides search features for text and documents that go beyond the functionality of the [!INCLUDE[tsql](../includes/tsql-md.md)]`LIKE` keyword.  
  
## In This Section  
 [Full-Text Search](../relational-databases/search/full-text-search.md)  
 Identifies text or documents that contain specific words or phrases, and that meet additional search conditions such as proximity of search terms.  
  
 [Semantic Search (SQL Server)](../relational-databases/search/semantic-search-sql-server.md)  
 Identifies the key phrases in text or documents, discovers similar or related documents, and provides information to explain how documents are similar or related.
