Search

The box at the top of the console, “Search inside documents”, searches the text of your processed documents. A file’s name counts too. Press Enter to open the Search screen. From there the results change as you type or change the scope; there is no Search button.

Search in the console is the same search your agents run. It does not write an answer: the passages it finds are the result.

Only documents marked Searchable show up. If a document you expected is missing, open it and click its status. See Document status.

Choose where to search

By default, Search looks in everything you can read: your documents and what others have shared with you. To narrow it, open the scope field, choose folders and files, and click Apply. A folder includes the folders inside it.

The scope does not follow the folder you were browsing. You pick it on the Search screen, and it stays in the page address, so a reload or a link you send repeats the same search.

Read the results

Each line is one file:

• the file’s name and folder;
• the page of the best passage, and the section heading for files that have one, such as page 12 · § Budget. Pages marked ≈ are estimates, for files without pages of their own (see Supported files);
• the best passage, cut to a few lines around your search words, which are highlighted.

+N more means the same file has other passages that matched. “Same text in N other files” means the same passage is in other files too, for example copies of one handbook in two folders.

The list starts with 10 files. Show more goes to 20, then 50, and shows only when there are more.

The details pane

Select a result to see it in the pane on the right:

• Passage: the whole passage, not cut.
• In this file: the file’s other passages. Pick one to read it.
• Open the document: opens the file at that passage’s page, with the original and the chunks side by side.
• Why it ranked: Score is the combined score the order comes from; only the order matters, not the number. Keywords rank is the passage’s place by the words it shares with your search. When an admin has turned on search by meaning, Meaning rank is its place by meaning.

With nothing selected, the pane shows How this search ran: who it searched as, and each step the search took.

See what an agent gets

The As me menu lists the agent keys you manage. Pick one to run the same search inside that key’s scope, with the folder paths the agent sees, such as Ava Bennett's documents/Handbook. Use it to check a key before you give it to an AI app. The key itself is not used, and the audit log records the search under your name.

Tell Sergo what helped

Under each passage in the details pane, mark it Helpful or Not helpful. The mark is kept with your search words, so search quality can be measured against them. Undo takes it back.

When search missed a passage it should have found, open the document, find the chunk, and hover over it to click the 👎 button (“A search should have found this”). Type the question that missed it and click Record. The question is kept with a quote and a page, so it survives processing the file again.
