GoSearch personal connectors provide a powerful way for you to extend search results beyond company-wide resources, enabling searches through your own individual applications. This helps you find information unique to you such as personal emails, files, messages, and meetings alongside your team’s shared data, all without compromising your privacy.
Benefits of Personal Connectors
- Personal connectors let you search your individual accounts directly from your GoSearch dashboard.
- For instance, you could search for a file from your personal Google Drive, a meeting from your individual Outlook calendar, or a one-on-one Slack DM, all without leaving GoSearch.
- Unlike workspace connectors, which surface information visible to everyone with shared access, results from personal connectors are only ever visible to you.
- For example, searching “quarterly review” will bring up matching emails from your own Gmail, private Slack DMs, or calendar events—accessible only to you. These results display right next to company-wide files and resources, helping you save time and reduce context switching.
- No data from your personal connectors is indexed or made searchable for others.
- Results are pulled in real-time solely for your authenticated session, keeping your information secure.
- By integrating both workspace and personal connectors, you get a more complete and tailored search experience.
- Personal connectors help you track tasks, communications, and documents that aren’t shared with your broader organization. This is especially valuable for cross-functional roles or those managing sensitive projects or correspondence.
- As a user, your admins may have set up workspace connectors for you. However, you should still add your personal connectors if admins enable them. Connecting personal connectors ensures your search covers both shared resources and your individual work, giving you the most complete results.
You should now better understand how managing your personal connectors will make your search results more relevant to you. If you need further assistance, please consult the GoSearch Help Center or Chat with Us.
