Search
Search is for high-speed retrieval, especially when the folder location is unknown.
Best use cases
- Find content by text inside files/notes/chats
- Locate records across multiple folders
- Reconstruct context from prior work quickly
Reliable search workflow
- Start with a narrow phrase or stable identifier.
- Add filters (scope, metadata, type) to reduce noise.
- Open top hits and verify folder context before editing.
Improve search quality over time
- Keep naming conventions consistent.
- Use stable metadata fields.
- Avoid parallel duplicate records.
Failure pattern
If search returns too many near-duplicates, the root problem is usually content governance, not search technology.
