Search
Use search when you need to get back to a previous meeting decision, quote, task owner, or recap without replaying the full call. These pages explain when to use keyword search, when to ask a natural-language question, and how to verify the source.
After you finish this section, you should know how search results map back to transcripts, recordings, summaries, and permissions.

Questions that come up often
What's indexed for search?
Transcripts, recordings, and summaries from every meeting you have access to are automatically indexed. Speaker labels, timestamps, and full text are searchable. Indexing happens as meetings complete — no manual steps required.
How do permissions work?
Search respects your access. You only see results from meetings you participated in or have been granted access to. Workspace admins can configure visibility. Ask Your Meetings uses the same permission model — you never see content you shouldn't.
How long is search data retained?
Search index retention follows your workspace and meeting retention settings. When a meeting or its artifacts are deleted, they're removed from search. You control retention at the workspace level.
How fast is search?
Full-text search returns results in milliseconds. Indexing is incremental — new meetings become searchable shortly after they end. Ask Your Meetings may take a few seconds for complex queries across large meeting sets.
Is there a search syntax?
Basic search supports keywords and phrases. Use quotes for exact phrases. Filter by speaker, date range, or meeting type in the UI. For natural language questions, use Ask Your Meetings — no syntax to learn.
Related tasks
Limitations and rollout notes
Section titled “ Limitations and rollout notes ”- Search quality depends on transcript completeness, retention, and visibility rules.
- Natural-language answer generation may take longer than direct keyword search for large scopes.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Search returns fewer results than expected
Section titled “Search returns fewer results than expected”- Verify the meeting artifacts still exist and have not aged out under retention policy.
- Check whether you are searching from the right workspace and have permission to see the relevant meeting.
- Use an exact phrase or speaker filter when the query is too broad.
