Searching Documents

Finch Fusion provides powerful search capabilities to help you find relevant information across all documents in your project. The platform uses AI-powered vector search to understand the meaning of your queries, not just keyword matching.

​
How Search Works

Unlike traditional keyword search, Finch Fusion uses semantic search powered by vector embeddings. This means:
  • Searches understand the meaning behind your query
  • Results are ranked by relevance, not just keyword frequency
  • You can find information even when exact words don’t match
  • Related concepts and synonyms are considered
Use the search functionality to quickly find information across your project:
  1. Enter your search query in natural language
  2. Results appear ranked by relevance
  3. Click a result to view the source document

​
Search Through Chat

The most common way to search is through the chat panel:
  1. Type your question in the chat input
  2. The AI searches your documents automatically
  3. Answers include citations linking to the source
Example queries:
  • “What was the company’s revenue in Q4?”
  • “Find information about supply chain risks”
  • “Show me details about the CEO’s compensation”

​
Search Suggestions

As you type, the platform may offer search suggestions based on:
  • Common queries for your document types
  • Previously successful searches
  • Key topics extracted from your documents

​
Search Results

Results include:
  • Relevant text passages from your documents
  • Source document identification
  • Relevance score indicating how well the result matches your query
  • Context around the matching passage

​
Tips for Better Results

  • Be specific - “What was Apple’s services revenue in Q3 2025?” works better than “revenue”
  • Use natural language - Write queries as you would ask a colleague
  • Include context - Mention the document type, time period, or topic area
  • Try different phrasings - If initial results aren’t satisfactory, rephrase your query

​
Search Scope

Search operates within the context of your current project:
  • Only documents in the active project are searched
  • All processed documents are included
  • Web sources added to the project are also searchable
  • Documents must be in Ready status to appear in search results
Documents that are still processing will not appear in search results. Wait for the processing to complete before searching.
