How search works

Search is how your AI finds the right memory before it answers - so the relevant note surfaces instead of a keyword dump. You do not usually run search yourself; your connected AI searches your memory automatically, but you can also search in the dashboard. What it gives you: - It finds a memo by meaning as well as by wording. Every memory is turned into an embedding - a vector capturing what it is about - and so is your query, so the two can be compared by meaning; that is combined with ordinary keyword matching over the same query, and a memo found by both sides ranks highest. This is why a note comes back even when you ask for it in words you did not use when you saved it. - Results are ranked by relevance, weighting a memo's internal retrieval cues most heavily, then its title, preview and content. That is why filling a memo with good cues makes it easy to find later. - It tolerates small typos, so a slightly misspelled query still finds the note. - Results are lightweight: title, a short preview, whether the memo has files, and where it lives (project, company and tags by name). The full content is fetched only for the memos that matter. - Every search comes with a plain-language verdict on how solid the results actually are: which memos are genuinely on topic, which merely share a word, and when the honest answer is that your memory holds nothing on the subject. A search always returns a page of nearest memos, so that verdict is what stops an assistant from trusting a lookalike. Scope: search can span everything you can access (your private memos plus all your projects), or be narrowed to just your private memos, a single project, or one company's memory. You can also filter by tags - keep only memos carrying all the tags you list, or drop the ones carrying tags you exclude. Duplicate detection: when you save something, Memocore checks for near-duplicate memos and nudges you to merge rather than create a second copy. Fair use: preparing your memos for search, and running searches, both come with usage allowances that depend on your plan. Normal use stays well within them - they are only there to keep things fair. A search run within a company, or within one of its projects, draws on that company's allowance; otherwise it counts toward your own.
