# Search

> Find conversations, files, file contents, and connected context

Search in Doe has several layers. Use the one that matches what you are trying to find.

## Conversation Search

Press `Cmd + K` (Mac) or `Ctrl + K` (Windows) to open chat search. Or click **Search** in the sidebar.

Conversation search finds matches in chat titles and message content. Results are grouped by time, such as Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days, and Older.

| Key           | Action                     |
| ------------- | -------------------------- |
| `Up` / `Down` | Navigate results           |
| `Enter`       | Open selected conversation |
| `Esc`         | Close search               |

Matching text highlights in yellow. Click any result to jump directly to that conversation.

## Library Search

Use Library search when you know metadata about a file.

Library search can find:

* File names
* Folders
* Owners
* File types
* Indexing status
* Edited-document lineage

Use this when your query is about "which file", "where is the file", or "show all PDFs in this folder".

## File-Content Search

Ask Doe when you need to search inside files. Doe can run hybrid semantic and keyword search across accessible indexed file content.

Good content-search prompts:

```text theme={null}
Search all uploaded files for the phrase "termination for convenience".
Show filename, page or section, and the matching text.
```

```text theme={null}
Find every mention of Q3 revenue guidance across PDFs, spreadsheets, and notes.
Group by source file and cite each result.
```

```text theme={null}
Search the Client Submissions folder for "Sean Ashe" and summarize the relevant documents.
```

Content search can then hand results to other capabilities. For example, Doe can find the relevant document, open it, extract structured fields, or fill a related form.

## Connected-App Search

Mention a connected app when the answer may live outside Doe.

```text theme={null}
@Gmail Search customer threads from the last 7 days that mention "invoice".
```

```text theme={null}
@Google Drive Find the most recent board deck and summarize the risks slide.
```

```text theme={null}
@Slack Search launch channel messages about the pricing change.
```

Depending on the integration and permissions, Doe can search, fetch, summarize, draft, update, or take other actions.

## Prior Sessions and Folders

Use `@` to mention prior sessions or folders when you want Doe to reuse earlier work.

```text theme={null}
Use @Q1 Planning and find the last version of the pricing assumptions.
```

```text theme={null}
Search my previous chats for the Stripe webhook debugging notes.
```

## Search Tips

* Use specific names, dates, file types, clauses, metrics, or folder names.
* Ask Doe to cite sources when content accuracy matters.
* If a first search is too narrow, ask Doe to broaden the terms.
* If results are broad, mention a file, folder, session, integration, or date range.
