Search
There's a search box on the home screen and another in the project tools rail. It is not the chat: it's a fast index of things by name, for when you know what you want and just need to get to it.
What it searches
| Type | Example | What happens when you pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Projects | "Kingsway Retail Park" | Opens the project |
| Tools | "overlay", "closure" | Opens the tool - in the current project if you're in one |
| Checks | "door schedule", "fire rating" | Takes you to that check, ready to run |
| Connectors | "bluebeam", "revit" | Opens the connector's setup |
The check results are the ones people don't expect. Your library can run to hundreds of checks across nine disciplines, and typing "egress" is much faster than opening Project QAQC and browsing the groups.

Where to use it
- From the home screen, search is for getting to a project or starting a tool.
- From inside a project, the same box acts on the project you're in - picking a tool opens it here, picking a check queues it against this set.
Search vs chat
Both boxes take plain language, so it's worth being clear about which does what:
- Search finds things by name. It's instant and it doesn't read your drawings.
- Chat answers questions about the contents of your drawings, and can run work for you.
"Compare Versions" is a search. "What changed between rev 1 and rev 2?" is a chat.
