Search

Search is a key part of Slite. We constantly improve it to be faster and more effective and accurate. Here are a few tips on how to use it.

How to access the search

To search docs, use the shortcut  cmd+K  ( ctrl+K  on Windows) or click on "Search" in the left panel to expand the search panel. 

If you don't enter anything in the search bar, we will show you the docs you've visited recently. All the best results, in one place. Raising Hands


Refine your search with filters

You can use filters to restrict your search to specific types of content, channels, people who have edited, or search for verified docs only:

Advanced search tips

You can access the search directly by accessing a URL. Type   https://yourdomain.slite.com/?q=test   and it will open your workspace with your query.


How often is Search updated?

Newly created docs should appear in search within a few seconds (and they'll be available for tagging in other docs, at that point).
Updates to existing docs content (rather than titles) could take a bit longer, up to 5 minutes, to index.


Limitations

Currently, our search capability is limited to the first 40,000 characters in a doc. For very, very long docs, results after that 40,000 character limit will not appear in search.
