Smarter search experience

Find relevant results for what you mean

Searching for content can be time-consuming when you don’t know the exact title or keywords. Our AI-accelerated search understands the context of your query, so you can describe what you’re looking for in your own words and get the most relevant results instantly. Here’s what you can do:

• Ask natural language questions like “Do we have a guide about aftercare for common procedures?”
• Use descriptive or broad phrases, such as “ways to improve sleep”.
• Discover content that may be labeled differently than expected.
  • For example, using the query “aircraft turnaround improvements” to surface results about optimizing ground operations, reducing delays, and streamlining boarding and refueling processes.

Search helps your team find the right information faster and uncover valuable insights or new opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

How to use search

Upon activation, Search will appear on the left-hand side of the navigation. Search works differently from the direct full-text search available by default. Here are some examples to give you an idea of how to describe your query:

• “Which articles discuss telehealth implementation?“
• “Find training materials for ground operations staff“
• “What content covers hybrid classroom management?“
• “Locate tips for managing burnout in healthcare teams“

If you prefer using specific phrases or topics, here are more examples. These pairs would usually work both ways. 

• “writing assistance software” → “grammar checker"
• “vegetable with high iron“ → “spinach“
• “plant that thrives in dry environments” → “cactus“
• “building materials for walls“ → “drywall panels“
• “machine for cleaning floors“ → “vacuum cleaner“
• “dessert with chocolate and nuts“ → “brownies”

Considerations

When using search, keep in mind the following:

• Only the top 50 relevant matches surface, helping users quickly find what matters most.
• There are no filters to refine the results.
• The search results are intelligently matched based on meaning and relevance.
• For indexing, search reads all text-based elements, which include text, rich text, URL slug, custom elements, and content metadata, like:
  • Title
  • Codename
  • Content type
  • Workflow step
  • Assignees
