ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Multimodal search

Multimodal search means searching for things using more than one way. This means you can look for something by typing in words, by using pictures, or by talking to a computer. Imagine you're trying to find a toy. You could ask your mom or dad which room it's in, or you could look for a picture of the toy on your tablet. You might even describe the toy to your tablet and ask it to show you a picture of it. That's multimodal searching! It's like using different tools to find something, so you have more chances of finding it. Just like you have more than one way to play with your toys!
