# Search

> Find documents across all your connected sources

## Getting Started

Type your query in the search bar. You can ask a question or enter keywords - Omni handles both.

## Search Results

After submitting a query in Search mode, you'll see a list of matching documents ranked by relevance. Click any result to open the original document.

## Pagination

Search results are paginated for large result sets. Use the page navigation at the bottom of the results to browse through all matches.

## Search Operators

You can narrow a query inline using the following operators:

| Operator        | Example                          | Meaning                                                               |
| --------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `in:`           | `quarterly plan in:slack`        | Restrict to a specific source (slack, google, atlassian, notion, ...) |
| `type:`         | `onboarding type:pdf`            | Restrict to a content type (pdf, docx, spreadsheet, email, ...)       |
| `from:` / `by:` | `policy by:alice@acme.com`       | Restrict to documents authored or sent by a specific user             |
| `before:`       | `roadmap before:2026-01-01`      | Only documents last modified before the given date                    |
| `after:`        | `release notes after:2025-12-01` | Only documents last modified on or after the given date               |

Operators can be combined — for example, `onboarding in:google type:docx after:2025-09-01`.

## Filters

Filters in the search UI (source, type, author, date range) apply the same operators as above and are available from both Search and Chat modes.

## Multilingual Search

The search index uses ASCII folding and language-agnostic tokenization, so queries against documents in French, German, Spanish, and other non-English languages work without any extra configuration.

## Tips

* **Be specific**: "Engineering onboarding checklist" works better than "onboarding"
* **Ask naturally**: The AI understands conversational questions
* **Use operators**: Combine `in:`, `type:`, and `after:` to narrow results quickly
* **Use recent chats**: Continue previous conversations from the sidebar
* **Recency matters**: More recent documents are given a ranking boost, so up-to-date content surfaces first
