Use Search when you want to find a page, message, or file in your connected apps. Start with a project name or a phrase you remember, then narrow the results.
Your organization must enable Search and make a source available to you. Connect your account if that source requires a personal connection.
Find a document
- Open Search in the organization sidebar. If you're in a workspace, open the workspace menu and select Back to organization first.
- Enter a title, project name, or distinctive phrase, such as
product requirements. - Press Enter or select the arrow to search.
Read the title and excerpt to find the relevant result. Each result shows its source, with an author and date when available. Select the title to open the original.
Narrow the results
Use the filters beneath the search field:
| Filter | Use it to |
|---|---|
| All sources | Choose one app, such as Confluence or Google Drive. |
| Any time | Search without a date restriction. |
| Past week or Past month | Focus on recently updated content. |
| Custom range | Choose a start and end date. |
Filters update the results. Return to All sources and Any time to broaden the search again.
If a query is too broad, add a detail you know: try product requirements template instead of requirements. Search coverage and the dates available depend on the source.
Use a result
Open the … menu beside a result:
- Summarize starts a Search conversation about that document. Ask a follow-up to explore it further.
- Copy link copies the original source link. Anyone you send it to still needs access in that app.
For an answer that combines several documents, ask a question in Search.
Return to something you found
Open Search again to see Recently viewed sources and Recent searches. Select a source to reopen it, or a query to search again.
This history is private to your account in the current organization. Clear history removes both lists.
If you can't find it
- No results: try a shorter phrase, remove the date filter, or choose All sources. Confirm that your connected account can open the original content.
- Some apps couldn't be searched: the results shown may be incomplete. Retry, or open Integrations to check whether an account needs reconnecting.
- Search couldn't run: select Try again. If the problem continues, check your connection in Integrations.
- A source is missing: ask your organization admin whether it is available to you.
An empty result does not prove a document is absent. Provider search limits and your organization's source settings can affect what you find. See access and freshness.
