Search

Search is a key part of Slite. We constantly improve it to be faster and more accurate.

Accessing Search

To make a search, use the shortcut Command-K (Control+K on Windows) or click Search in the top left.
If you don't enter anything in the search bar, we will show you the docs you've edited and visited recently. All the best results, in one place. Raising Hands

Refining your search with filters

You can use filters to restrict your search to specific types of content, channels, people who have edited (contributors), 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. Just make sure to separate your keywords with + instead of a space.

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.
