Conquered the basics of searching, and ready to up your game? Let's dive into some tips and tricks for advanced searching. 🔥

Use filtered search to narrow down your search to a specific topic, post owner, or contributor.

Just type your keyword in the search bar, followed by one of our search facets:

You'll then see a list of options to choose from depending on the facet. The facet in:, for example, will show a list of topics.

To see a list of filters within the application:

You can use quotes to find specific, exact phrases. For example, "search engine" will only match records that include the word "search" next to the word "engine."

To exclude a certain word or phrase from your search, use a minus ("-"). For example, "search -engine" will will only match records that include the word "search" and not the word "engine."

You can search within a number of connected integrations, all without leaving Slab. This includes Asana, Box, Confluence, Dropbox, Google Drive, Guru, Height, Jira, Linear, Slack, Quip, Trello, and Zendesk!

To integrate with services: start your search, then click the ⚙️Manage button to the right of the Search results title.

You'll be able to filter by type — when searching in Slack, for example, you can view results in Channel messages, Direct messages, and Group messages.

Note that each team member will need to enable the "individual" integration, as search results from the individual integrations are limited to individual accounts (for security purposes). Only one team admin needs to enable the "team" integrations, and those search results will be team-wide.
