Powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, it understands context, interprets natural language queries, and delivers precise results from your entire meeting history in seconds. ## What is Smart Search? Smart Search goes beyond simple keyword matching. It's an intelligent system that: * **Understands context** and meaning behind your queries * **Searches semantically** across all meeting content * **Provides relevant excerpts** with full context * **Links related information** from different meetings * **Learns from your search patterns** to improve results

## How It Works ### RAG Technology **Content Discovery** * Indexes all meeting transcripts, notes, and metadata * Creates semantic embeddings of content * Maintains relationships between related topics * Updates index in real-time as new meetings occur **Intelligent Responses** * Analyzes retrieved content for relevance * Generates contextual summaries * Provides direct answers to questions * Suggests related information and follow-ups ### Search Process AI analyzes your search query to understand: * Intent and context * Key entities (people, projects, dates) * Implicit requirements * Scope and time frame System searches across: * Meeting transcripts and recordings * Notes and summaries * Action items and tasks * Participant information and roles Results are ranked by: * Semantic relevance to query * Recency and importance * User access permissions * Historical search patterns AI generates: * Direct answers when possible * Relevant excerpts with context * Related content suggestions * Action-oriented recommendations ## Search Interface ### Search Bar The search bar is your primary interface for finding information: **Simple Queries** ``` "product launch timeline" "Sarah's concerns about budget" "decisions made yesterday" ``` **Search Tips:** * Use natural language * Include specific names and dates * Ask questions directly * Use quotes for exact phrases **Filtered Queries** ``` speaker:john AND topic:pricing last-month meeting-type:standup decisions:any this-week project:mobile-app unresolved-issues ``` **Available Operators:** * `AND`, `OR`, `NOT` for boolean logic * `speaker:name` for specific participants * `meeting-type:type` for meeting categories * `date:range` for time-based filtering **Conversational Queries** ``` "What did we decide about the Q4 budget?" "Show me all unfinished tasks from last week" "Find meetings where pricing was discussed" "Who was assigned to work on the mobile app?" ``` **Query Types:** * Questions seeking specific answers * Commands for information retrieval * Exploratory searches for discovery * Comparative queries across meetings ### Search Results **Direct Answers** * Concise responses to specific questions * Extracted facts and decisions * Summarized information * Action item details **Content Excerpts** * Relevant transcript segments * Note highlights * Key discussion points * Important quotes and statements **Meeting References** * Links to full meeting records * Contextual meeting information * Participant lists and roles * Related meetings and topics **Visual Indicators** * Relevance scores and rankings * Content type icons (transcript, notes, tasks) * Recency indicators * Source meeting information **Interactive Elements** * Click to expand full context * Jump to specific moments in recordings * View related content suggestions * Export or share results ## Search Categories ### By Content Type **Decision Tracking** * Final decisions made * Decision rationale * Decision makers * Implementation status **Task Management** * Assigned tasks * Due dates and priorities * Completion status * Task dependencies **Conversation Topics** * Key discussion themes * Participant viewpoints * Unresolved issues * Follow-up topics **Key Takeaways** * Important revelations * Strategic insights * Problem identifications * Opportunity discoveries ### By Meeting Context **People-Focused Search** ``` "John's updates on the marketing campaign" "What did Sarah say about the timeline?"
