# Classify Search Intent

`POST /api/search/intent`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.kolens.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.kolens.ai/api/search/intent`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Read a query's shape and say whether it needs a choice first.

Deterministic and free — regex, no model call, no I/O. Safe to call
on every keystroke if a client wants to; safe to skip entirely.
