Search And Analysis
Search helps users move from a question to the artifacts, events, and operations that can answer it. The best search workflow combines filters, result inspection, and source review.
Search Well
Start with specific terms: a place, person, organization, artifact kind, operation topic, or time window. Use workspace filters when you already know the kind of context you need.
Good searches usually lead to a small set of artifacts worth opening. Weak searches return broad matches from summaries, metadata, or unrelated event text.
Review Results
Open promising results and inspect the source material or event trail. If a result comes from generated text, use it as a pointer to the underlying artifact before making a decision.
Use Analysis Artifacts
Datasets, scenes, forecasts, transcripts, recordings, and rendered documents can all become analysis inputs. Keep those outputs connected to their source artifacts so later readers can understand how a conclusion was reached.
Media To Add
- Screenshot: search results with filters for artifact kind and workspace context. It helps users see how to narrow broad results. Source: sample OSINT workspace search page.
- Table: examples of broad queries, better narrow queries, and when to use each. It helps users learn search strategy. Source: product documentation examples using public sample data.
