Advanced Search Settings

Clear Ideas provides configurable search features at both the account and site level. Enable full‑text search, OCR for PDFs, and AI‑enhanced search to improve discovery while keeping your content private.

Account Settings

From Settings > Search:

Full‑Text Search: Index file and folder names for faster lookup.

OCR for PDFs: Extract text from PDFs so content becomes searchable and available to AI features.

AI Enhanced Search: Improves ranking and recall using AI embeddings. Your private data remains encrypted and is shared with models only as needed to fulfill queries.

Site‑Level Overrides

From a Site > Settings > Search you can override the account defaults:

• Toggle full‑text and OCR settings for a specific site.
• Enable AI Enhanced Search per site to tailor relevance for that site’s audience.

Changes to search settings may take time to apply as content (re)indexing completes.

Privacy and Security

All private data remains encrypted at rest. When AI features are enabled, only the minimum required content is decrypted and transmitted over encrypted channels to the selected model. See Encryption & Privacy.
