Find Anything: Universal Search Across Your Entire Workspace

Search everything in one place. Our new universal search indexes documents, messages, channels, and more with instant results and smart filtering.

What Changed

BrainBox now features a powerful universal search that indexes everything in your workspace.

What You Can Search

  • Documents: Full-text search across all your pages
  • Messages: Find conversations across all channels
  • Channels: Quickly jump to any channel
  • Files: Search uploaded files by name
  • People: Find team members instantly

    • Smart Results

    Search results show context, including:
  • Parent channel/document name for messages
  • Preview of matching content
  • Timestamp and author information

    • Instant Performance

    Built on SQLite FTS5, search results appear as you type with sub-millisecond query times even in large workspaces.

    Why It Matters

    Information scattered across channels and documents can be hard to find. Universal search eliminates this problem, ensuring you can always find what you're looking for.

    Technical Details

    We use SQLite's Full-Text Search 5 (FTS5) extension for blazing-fast search. Content is indexed incrementally, so new content is searchable immediately.
