Enterprise search
Search across a company's internal applications and documents, now often paired with AI answers that respect permissions.
Definition
Enterprise search connects to mail, chat, documents, tickets, and code, indexes them with metadata and access controls, and returns results or synthesised answers only from content the user may see. It differs from consumer search in connectors, permission enforcement, and governance.
Why it matters when choosing a tool
Permission-aware retrieval is the defining requirement; a tool that leaks documents across teams is worse than no tool.
