Search

Query and filters

At the top of Search you have:

• A query field for what you want to find or ask about.
• An app name filter to limit results to captures from specific applications.
• A search mode selector: auto, keyword, or semantic (see below).
• A meeting filter when you want results scoped to meeting-linked sessions.

Use filters to shrink a large history before refining wording.

Search modes

• Auto. lets Overshow choose how to rank and combine signals for typical queries.
• Keyword. full-text style matching over indexed screen text and transcripts.
• Semantic. meaning-based retrieval when you do not remember exact phrases.

Pick a mode when you know whether literal terms or paraphrase will work better.

Ask (grounded answers)

The Ask button runs a grounded answer flow: Overshow retrieves evidence from your captures and composes a response tied to that material, not generic filler. Use it when you want synthesis (“what did we decide?”) rather than a raw list of hits.

Result cards

Each result shows:

• Source app. which application the capture came from.
• Timestamp. when the moment occurred.
• Matched text. the snippet or segment that best matches your query (or the relevant transcript excerpt).

Open a card to see fuller context or jump into the data inspector where supported.

Context export

You can export context to Markdown from the search experience so snippets and structure travel into notes, tickets, or documentation. Exact placement of the control follows the current UI; look for export actions near results or the Ask panel.
