Search ​

Search lets you quickly find content across your organization, either from a fast lookup dialog or a full results page, without leaving what you're doing.

Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the app to open the search dialog, or click the magnifying-glass Search button in the top navigation, next to Research.

On mobile, tap the search icon in the top bar.

The search dialog ​

With an empty query, the dialog shows your Recent items — the content you've visited most recently.

Type at least two characters to search. Results are split into two groups:

  • People — teammates and email contacts whose name or email matches your query. Selecting a person filters the dialog to just their activity.
  • Content — meetings, posts, goals, documents, email threads, and chats matching your query.

Use the ↑/↓ arrow keys to move through results and Enter to open the highlighted one. Esc steps back — clearing an active person filter, leaving commands mode, or closing the dialog entirely, depending on where you are.

Full search results page ​

Below the results list, select See all results for "…" (or press Enter with it highlighted) to open the full search results page at /search, carrying your query over.

The full page gives you more room to scan results and adds a content type filter in the search bar. Choose:

  • Everything (default)
  • Meetings
  • Posts
  • Goals
  • Docs
  • Emails
  • Chats
  • Decisions — only available as an explicit filter; decisions aren't included when the filter is set to Everything

Use the ↑/↓ arrow keys and Enter to open a result in a new tab, or click any result directly.

Quick commands ​

Type / in the search dialog to see quick commands, including Research (see Search vs. Research below), Create quick link, and any quick links you've saved.

Search vs. Research ​

Search finds content you already have — it returns matching meetings, posts, goals, documents, emails, and chats instantly as you type.

Research is a separate feature for generating a new report by synthesizing your workspace content. Open it with ⌘⇧K, the Research button in the top navigation, or the Research command inside the search dialog. Submit a question and a report is delivered to your inbox once it's ready — it doesn't return a list of existing results like search does.
