Enterprise Search
Explore Enterprise Search — a dedicated Claude feature that searches across your organization's tools and data sources to find and synthesize knowledge buried across Slack, Drive, email, and more.
What Is Enterprise Search?
Enterprise Search adds a dedicated "Ask Your Org" option to your Claude sidebar. Unlike regular chats with connectors enabled, Enterprise Search is specifically designed for finding and synthesizing knowledge buried across your company's tools and data sources, using custom instructions configured for information gathering.
What Can You Ask?
Enterprise Search is most valuable for questions that span multiple sources or require synthesizing information from across your organization.
Getting Up to Speed
"What happened yesterday while I was out?" — "Summarize key updates across the business from the last week" — "What are the current blockers on the Platform project?"
Policy and Process Questions
"What is our company's remote work policy?" — "How do I submit an expense report?" — "What's the process for requesting time off?"
Research and Analysis
"What are the main reasons customers cite for choosing competitors?" — "Summarize discussions about the Q4 product roadmap."
Onboarding New Team Members
"How does our authentication system work?" — "Who should I talk to about the billing system?" — "What tools does engineering use for deployment?"
When you ask a question, Claude searches across all your connected tools — SharePoint documents, Slack conversations, Gmail threads, Google Drive files — and synthesizes information into a unified response with cited sources.
Setup Process
Enterprise Search requires a two-step setup: first an admin configures it for the organization by connecting document storage, chat tools, and optionally email. Then individual users authenticate with their personal accounts for each connected service.
Privacy and Security
Enterprise Search only shows what you already have permission to access in the original connected tool. Your conversations remain private, and your connected data is not indexed or stored separately.
