Search

Search is the fastest way back. It finds any entity across all your Spaces and Groups — by title, content, type, or context. No more drilling through folders or remembering where you saved something. Just search, and it's there.

Open search from anywhere#

Press Cmd K (or Ctrl K on Windows/Linux) from any Window, Space, or App. You can also click the search bar in the top chrome.

Results appear instantly as you type, ranked by:

  • Recency — what you've touched lately
  • Relevance — how well the content matches
  • Context — your current Space, open Windows, and recent activity

What's searchable#

Everything indexed in your Dataspace is searchable: docs, notes, pages, tasks, mail, contacts, sheets, files, PDFs, and more. River extracts the full text of imports (PDFs, transcripts, attachments) and indexes that too.

You can also search Apps, Agents, Workflows, and Skills by name — Cmd K is the fastest way to open a tool you use often.

Filter and refine#

Once you have a result list, narrow it with:

  • Type filterstype:doc, type:task, type:email
  • Group filters — search within a single Group or project
  • Time filters — "this week," "last month"
  • Owner / collaborator — who created or edited it
  • Status — for entities with state, like Tasks

You can save common search patterns as Smart Folders — a saved query that always shows the latest matching entities.

For anything more complex than a keyword, just ask River AI. SpaceChat understands questions like:

  • "find the latest investor update from last quarter"
  • "show me PRDs from Q1 that mention fraud signals"
  • "what did Diego say about the launch in Slack last week?"

The AI runs structured search behind the scenes and returns entities you can open, edit, or act on.

Tips#

  • Cmd K is muscle memory. It works from inside any App, including the AI sidebar.
  • Type a few characters of an entity name plus a Tab to filter by type.
  • Use search to navigate, not just find — it's faster than the sidebar for almost everything.
