• Key Concepts: 
  Refinement is a feature of SBA Semantic Business Applications that allows users to quickly and easily refine their search results. It works by allowing users to narrow down their search results by selecting specific criteria, such as product type, price range, or other relevant factors. This helps users find the exact information they need in a fraction of the time it would take to manually search through all the available options.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use refinement, users first need to enter their search query into the SBA Semantic Business Applications search bar. Once the results are displayed, users can then select the refinement criteria they wish to apply from the list of available options. This will narrow down the results and display only those that match the criteria selected.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using refinement, it is important to remember that not all criteria will be applicable to every search query. For example, if you are searching for a specific product type, you may not need to refine by price range. Additionally, it is important to remember that refining too much can lead to too few results being displayed. It is best to start with broad criteria and then refine further as needed.
