Search Tools

How search capabilities work

The assistant uses several search methods to find content in your archive.

Search Types

The assistant automatically selects the best search method:

Keyword Search

Finds exact word matches in transcripts. Best for:

  • Specific phrases or quotes
  • Names and proper nouns
  • Technical terms

Semantic Search

Finds conceptually related content, even without exact matches. Best for:

  • Topics and themes
  • Paraphrased concepts
  • Questions like "episodes about growth strategies"

Speaker Search

Filters results to a specific speaker. Useful for:

  • "What did [name] say about..."
  • Finding all quotes from a guest

Search Results

Results include:

  • Segment text - The matching transcript portion
  • Episode info - Title and publish date
  • Speaker - Who said it
  • Timestamp - When in the episode
  • Deep link - Click to jump to that moment

Tagging from Search

Found something you want to organize? Ask the assistant to:

  1. Create a new tag ("Create a tag called 'Marketing Tips'")
  2. Apply tags to results ("Tag these segments with 'Marketing Tips'")

The assistant will show you a preview before applying bulk tags.

Tips for Effective Search

  • Use quotes for exact phrases: "product launch"
  • Include date ranges when relevant: "in the last 3 months"
  • Specify speakers to narrow results: "when Sarah discussed..."
  • Try semantic search if keyword search returns no results
