A refined query is a query which has the previous query or part of it. Example: - previousQuery = 'lego star'. - newQuery = 'lego star wars'. Example: - previousQuery = 'lego star wars'. - newQuery = 'lego star'. A new query is a query which has not the previous query. Example: - previousQuery = 'lego star'. - newQuery = 'lego wars'. In this case, it is changing the word set, because a word is changed by another one, so this is changing the search intention. **Signature:** ```typescript export declare function isNewQuery(newQuery: string, previousQuery: string): boolean; ``` ## Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
newQuery	string	The new query.
previousQuery	string	The previous query.

**Returns:** boolean A boolean which flags if the query is refined or not.
