✅ Semantic: Finds all Q3 financial information regardless of wording

Full-Text Search

Advanced text matching with operators, wildcards, and proximity searches across all document content.

"exact phrase" - Exact match
report* - Wildcard matching
revenue AND profit - Boolean operators

Metadata Search

Search document properties like author, creation date, file type, size, and custom tags for precise filtering.

created:2024-01-01..2024-12-31
type:pdf size:>10MB

Natural Language

Ask questions in plain English and let AI understand your intent to find exactly what you're looking for.

Search Best Practices

Best Practices

  • Start with broad terms, then refine with filters
  • Use specific terms when you know exactly what you want
  • Save frequently used searches for quick access
  • Set up alerts for important topics or documents
  • Review search analytics to improve effectiveness

What to Avoid

  • Creating overly complex queries with too many operators
  • Ignoring search suggestions and auto-completions
  • Not using filters when results are too broad
  • Searching with very long queries without structure
  • Forgetting to check different search types for better results
