User Story

As a reader using Hybrid Search, when my results relate to a biography, I want to see an example semantic-style query (e.g., “Who is Beyonce?"), so that I understand how to ask similar questions and explore topics by meaning.

Description

When Hybrid Search semantic results are primarily sourced from a biography article, display a lightweight, contextual prompt in the semantic results section that surfaces the query pattern:

Who is <Article Title>?

This prompt is intended to model natural-language and semantic-style queries, helping readers learn how to interact with Hybrid Search without auto-generating or rewriting their query.

Requirements

Detection & Eligibility

• Prompt is shown only when:
  • The top semantic results are sourced from a biography article (e.g., person pages)
• Prompt is not shown for:
  • Non-biographical articles
  • Lists, disambiguation pages, or non-main namespace content

Prompt Presentation

• Prompt appears within the semantic results section, visually distinct from result cards
• Text follows the format:
  • “Who is <Article Title>”
• Prompt is clearly presented as an example, not a system interpretation of the user’s intent

Interaction Behavior

• None, it is just unclickable text

Experiment Scope

• Behavior applies only to users in the Hybrid Search experiment
• Control group does not see semantic query prompts
