SeekOut's search box can handle your queries

Do you search with keywords or Boolean expressions?

With SeekOut, you'll get relevant results no matter how you like to construct your queries.

  • Enter keywords or a phrase and SeekOut will use natural language and machine learning to bring back the best results.

  • Use Boolean if you want more control over the logic in your query. If you're used to created x-ray searches with Boolean, however, you will likely get even better results using SeekOut's filters. To learn more, see X-Ray Search vs. SeekOut Search.

  • SeekOut's Advanced Search syntax lets you search with field-based queries, wildcards, words near each other, and more.
