        Frequently Asked Questions

        Enterprise search enables you to find the information you need without having to open and search through multiple applications, or ask your coworkers. Learn more about Slack’s approach to enterprise search.

        Federated search is synonymous with enterprise search. Federated search refers specifically to the real-time approach used to enable enterprise search in Slack. The word “federate” means “to unite in alliance,” which describes how enterprise search tools work.

        Enterprise search can help any line of business, industry, or role find information. For example, sales teams using Slack can expand their search queries about a customer from just conversations in Slack to include customer data from Salesforce and content repositories like Google Drive, all from one search bar.

        Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) trains based on your company’s own data, providing highly relevant and personalized results for each search. Simply ask a natural language question in the Slack search bar, and you’ll get a conversational summary informed by the most relevant results, all while respecting your access permissions to that data.

        Enterprise search in Slack uses the federated method to retrieve information in real-time. Each time you ask a question, the results will be provided based on your access and permissions to that data at that exact time, so if your access to that data changes, the information stays secure.

        Customers on the Enterprise Grid Plan with Slack AI can use enterprise search by enabling connectors at the admin and user levels. Contact our sales team to get started.
