How to use Search Feature in remio

This section explains how users can use the Search feature to locate and interact with content in remio. The Search function provides quick access to a wide range of knowledge, including notes, Collections, and resources.

Opening and Closing the Search Window

• Users can open the search pop-up window by selecting the "Search" menu item from the main interface.

• To return to the previous page, users close the search pop-up window.

Performing a Search

• Users type keywords into the input box within the search window.

• The search begins automatically as users type, with no need to press Enter.

Understanding Search Results

• Search results appear directly below the input box and include:

  • The title of the item.

  • An excerpt of the body text.

  • The number of sub-notes (if applicable).

  • The last modified date.

• A preview card of the top-ranking note appears on the right, displaying:

  • Additional body text.

  • The creation date.

  • The last modified date.

• Users can select "Ask remio about [typed content]" from the results to navigate to the chat interface, where the typed keywords become the prompt.

Refining Search Results

• Users can refine their search by:

  • Adding or adjusting keywords in the search bar.

  • Sorting or filtering the search results using available options.

  • Hovering over a result in the list to view a preview card with more body text, the creation date, and the last modified date.

• If a keyword matches parsed content, the result indicates this, and users can choose to view the original file or webpage.

• Selecting "Ask remio about..." takes users to the Chat page with their text as a prompt.

• Clicking a search result directs users to:

  • The note detail page (for notes).

  • The original webpage or link (for parsed content, later referred to as "footprints").

  • The chat page and specific message (for chat logs).

Types of Knowledge Searchable

• The Search function scans all types of content in remio, including:

  • Normal notes.

  • Collections.

  • Chat logs.

  • Resources (parsed content).

• Users can filter results by content type (feature upcoming), such as:

  • Normal notes.

  • Collections.

  • Parsed content.

  • Chat logs.

• Results can also be filtered by document type, including:

  • Webpages: .html, .htm.

  • Images: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp.

  • Text and Rich Text: .txt, .rtf.

  • Email: .eml, .msg, .mbox, .pst, .ost (upcoming).

  • Word Documents: .doc, .docx, .odt (upcoming).

  • Presentations: .ppt, .pptx (upcoming).

  • PDFs (upcoming).

Important Search Behaviors

• Exact Phrase Matching: Users can use quotation marks for precise searches (e.g., "artificial intelligence" matches only that exact phrase).

• Title Fuzzy Search: The search supports fuzzy matching in titles (e.g., "sol" may find "Solution"), but not in the body text or summary.

• De-duplication: Each note appears only once in the results, even if it matches multiple criteria.

• Flexible Word Order: The search may match variations in word order (e.g., "machine learning model" can match "model for machine learning").
