Asking & Search

Global Search

Jump straight to any document with the command palette.

Global search is the fastest way to find and open a document. Unlike the web assistant, it doesn't write an answer — it takes you to the page.

Press K (or Ctrl K), or select the search box in the top bar, then start typing. Search covers every space you have access to.

Results appear once you've typed five characters — until then, it shows how many more to type. Before you type anything, it lists your Recently updated documents, so a quick ⌘K often gets you where you're going in a keystroke or two.

Read the results

Each result shows the document's title, the space and folder it lives in, a snippet with your search terms highlighted, its author, and when it was last updated — enough to pick the right one at a glance.

Navigate with the keyboard:

  • ↑ / ↓ — move between results
  • Enter — open the selected document
  • ⌘ / Ctrl + Enter — open it in a new tab
  • Esc — close search

Search or ask?

  • Search when you know roughly which document you want and just need to get to it.
  • Ask the assistant when you want an answer synthesized from across your docs, with sources to check.
