GoSearch Best Practice Guide

This GoSearch Best Practices Guide is designed to help users get the most value out of GoSearch by sharing proven tips and recommended approaches for searching, filtering, and engaging with AI features. 

By following these practices, users will learn how to:

  • Run more effective and precise searches to quickly find needed information.
  • Take advantage of GoSearch’s advanced tools like filters, Agents, and GoAI chat.
  • Connect relevant applications for richer, more contextual search results.
  • Refine search queries for greater accuracy and relevance.
  • Provide feedback to improve future search experiences.

Craft Effective Prompts

  • Crafting good prompts is all about giving a specific task and relevant context. 
  • For example, asking GoAIGoSearch to refine an email vs refine a blog are two distinct tasks because both types of writing differ in tone, audience, descriptiveness, etc. And supplying GoSearch with basic background information on a client can help it better assess which plan would be the best suited for them.
  • Taking a few extra moments to craft a clear, focused prompt will help GoSearch deliver faster, more accurate, and actionable results every time.

Choose the Right Model 

  • GoSearch allows model switching, so choosing a specific model can also improve responses. 
    • Flagship Models are general-purpose, high performance models that provide consistent high performance across use cases.
    • Reasoning Models are for deeper analysis and context and tend to be used for tasks that require advanced reasoning or careful thought.
  • Because different models excel at different types of questions, such as summarization, data extraction, or coding, exploring models and choosing the appropriate one for your query can help produce more meaningful responses.

Automate, Automate, Automate

  • If you find yourself doing a repetitive task like writing LinkedIn posts or answering the same customer query, set up an Agent to make it easier for you. All an agent needs is a name and instructions.
  • By giving it specific instructions, describing the parameters of most queries, and giving it guardrails for how to respond, anyone in your workspace can use this Agent 

Connect Personal Connectors

  • Connecting your personal applications ensures GoSearch can pull in the information most relevant to your day-to-day work.
  • By integrating personal data connectors like Gmail, Google Drive, or Slack, your searches become richer and more contextual. GoSearch never indexes or shares your private content with others and results are pulled in real time when a query is made, so only you can access results from your personal connectors.
  • The more sources you connect, the more complete and tailored your search experience will be—unlocking insights that would otherwise be scattered across tools.

Use Filters

  • GoSearch offers a powerful set of filters by file type, date, owner, source, and more and using filters is one of the fastest ways to refine your search and zero in on the right information.
  • If you remember something happened last week or need only PDFs, apply the relevant filters for precise results.
  • Experimenting with filters helps eliminate noise and ensures you surface the most up-to-date and relevant content with every search.

Verify and Deprecating Information 

  • Submitting verification requests to your admins improves accuracy and trust across your organization’s knowledge base.
    • When a resource is verified, it signals to your team that a document or answer is current, correct, and approved. 
    • Verified results rise to the top of search, ensuring users confidently act on trusted content.
  • Deprecating outdated resources means they are hidden from future search results, ensuring your team has access to the best and most current information.

Install the Extension

  • Installing the GoSearch Chrome extension lets you bring enterprise search everywhere you work online.
  • The extension unlocks new tab search, instant search bar queries, and the ability to search from any webpage—streamlining access to resources without breaking your flow.
  • Pin the extension for quick access and to increase productivity in all your daily tasks.

Define Glossary Terms

  • Leverage the GoSearch Glossary to define key company terms, acronyms, and processes for your team.
  • A well-maintained glossary helps your whole team ramp up faster and reduces confusion across departments, especially as terminology evolves.
