The ability to find relevant information quickly can mean the difference between an efficient, productive day and hours wasted searching through documents, apps, and emails.\u00a0This is where AI querying best practices come into play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many organizations, enterprise search tools like GoSearch have become indispensable. But to truly unlock the potential of these tools, understanding how to craft good queries is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re searching for a customer\u2019s recent purchase history, team updates, or insights from the latest sales report, well-optimized queries can help you get the results you need faster and more accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s explore why effective querying matters, what GoSearch brings to the table, and how to improve your search practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is GoSearch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoSearch is an AI-driven enterprise search tool designed to streamline access to workplace information. By connecting securely to your organization’s apps, databases, and cloud platforms, GoSearch helps you find exactly what you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, instead of manually sifting through email threads or project management tools to find a status update, GoSearch processes your query and delivers the most relevant and actionable results in seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s more than just a search bar\u2014GoSearch transforms the way you work by giving you quick, reliable access to your company\u2019s collective knowledge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How GoSearch works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoSearch integrates seamlessly with your workplace apps, including cloud storage, CRM systems, project management tools, and communication platforms like Slack or Teams. Once connected, it scans and organizes data from these sources. When you type in a query, GoSearch\u2019s AI-driven algorithms go to work, analyzing millions of data points to surface the most relevant results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoSearch incorporates AI-powered features such as multimodal search<\/a> and custom GPTs<\/a> to provide an enhanced search experience. It surfaces links, relevant documents, AI-generated summaries, and even visual or chat-based results to streamline your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to optimize your GoSearch queries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to AI and natural language processing, GoSearch is ready to interpret any query you give it. But to make the most of GoSearch, we put together some steps you can take to optimize your search queries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into what makes a query effective and how you can refine your searches for better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Figure out your objective:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before typing a query, consider your end goal. Are you searching for a specific document, a link to a project, or a data summary? Being clear about your objective will guide how you frame your search query and will help GoSearch surface the most relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you need the latest customer sales report, think about whether you\u2019re looking for a detailed document, a dashboard link, or a quick AI-generated summary of key insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Be specific:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good query is precise and goal-oriented. While GoSearch can handle vague queries, being specific could improve the accuracy of the results. For example, searching \u201ccustomer purchase history\u201d might surface hundreds of files, but searching \u201ccustomer purchase history Q2 2025\u201d will significantly narrow the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Specify a desired format:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the same information exists in multiple formats\u2014spreadsheets, slide decks, or PDFs. If you\u2019re looking for a specific format, include it in your query. For instance, if you’re searching for the 2025 marketing plan, and you know it’s in a slide format, include that in the query (e.g., \u201c2025 marketing plan slide\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Use filters:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GoSearch offers a range of filters to narrow down your search results. Filters include file type, task, owner, modified date, and more. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re searching for a report updated last week. By using the modified date filter, you can limit results to documents from the past seven days, streamlining your query to the most recent and relevant documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Use multimodal AI:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GoSearch\u2019s multimodal search allows you to search using not just text but also images and links. For instance, if you’re looking for visual assets like logos or infographics, you can search directly with images, making the process faster and more intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This multimodal approach can also help improve your querying results when you’re working with data tables or visual reports that are hard to describe in words. Simply drop a relevant image into the search bar, and GoSearch will take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Have a conversation with GoAI chat:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For complex queries or when you need more in-depth answers, GoSearch offers an AI workplace assistant<\/a>. This feature allows you to have a back-and-forth conversation with the AI to refine your results or gain insights. It is particularly useful for content creation, data analysis, or understanding complex reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you might ask GoAI to help you write SQL queries or explain the sorting order of specific data. You can guide the AI to provide structured, actionable insights by breaking down complex prompts into smaller steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
