AiVault provides multiple ways to narrow down and find the perfect AI tool for your needs. The search bar allows you to find tools by name, description, or tags. The search engine looks across:
  • Tool names: Exact or partial matches (e.g., “GPT” finds ChatGPT, GPT-4, etc.)
  • Descriptions: Keywords in short or long descriptions
  • Tags: Any tags associated with tools
  1. Enter your search term in the search bar
  2. Results update automatically as you type
  3. Search is case-insensitive for better matching
Search works best with specific keywords. Try searching for technologies (“Stable Diffusion”), use cases (“writing”), or features (“API”).
