Product / Search

Find the right passage, for the right person.

In short

troveGEN search finds passages by exact words and by meaning at the same time, ranks them, and returns each with its source page, section and a relevance label. Access rules are applied inside the query, so people and agents only ever see what they are allowed to.

Finding

Keywords and meaning together

Exact terms catch codes, names and numbers; meaning catches differently worded questions. The two are fused automatically, and the balance adapts to the question.

Natural questions work

Long, conversational questions are matched on their meaningful words, so a question does not need to be rewritten into keywords.

18 languages, across languages

Ask in English and find a Hindi or Arabic passage, or ask in the document’s own language. Reranking is switched on automatically when the question and the passages differ in language.

Your own vocabulary

Add synonyms and abbreviations for your field. Industry vocabulary can be applied automatically.

Search by image

With a vision model configured, submit a picture; it is described and matched against figures and passages.

Tables and numbers

Row-level entries are returned for questions about specific rows, and the whole table only when it helps.

Ranking

Sensible defaults, nothing to tune

Weights, candidate counts and score floors are chosen from measurements. Only the settings you change are stored.

Optional AI ranking

One model call reads the top candidates and orders them, grading the best ten as a direct answer, relevant, or mentions the topic. Available per request, per project and in the Search tab.

Reranking models

Add a cross-encoder reranker, hosted or self-hosted, where it helps your corpus.

Freshness

Optionally favour newer documents with a half-life you choose, without hiding older evidence.

Index and contents pages last

Book indexes and tables of contents are kept searchable but ranked below real content unless you ask for them.

Completing

Related passages

When one fact spans several passages, return the neighbours, the whole section, the parent group, or passages that mention the same person, product or place.

Search across projects

Pick any number of projects; results are merged by rank and each result names its project.

As-of search

With versioning on, ask what the documents said on a past date.

Restricting

Filters on any field

Filter by department, date, customer, document type or any field you attach. The filter applies to both halves of the search.

Permissions inside the query

Access rules remove restricted passages before ranking. Signed end-user assertions and group membership from your identity provider mean a caller cannot step outside their own access.

An honest empty result

When nothing relevant exists, the result is empty rather than the closest wrong passage.

Seeing it

Results you can inspect

Each result shows its relevance label, page, section and source document, and opens in the document viewer at the exact passage.

A pipeline report

Every response says what ran: mode, ranking, filters applied, and why a result set is short.

What happens in one search

  1. Understand

    The question is cleaned, language-checked and expanded with your vocabulary.

  2. Retrieve

    Keyword and meaning search run together, restricted to what this caller may see.

  3. Rank

    Results are fused, optionally reranked or graded, and gated for relevance.

  4. Complete

    Related passages are added when you ask for them.

  5. Return

    Passages come back with sources, labels and a report of what ran.

Questions people ask

What is hybrid search?

Hybrid search runs keyword matching and meaning-based matching together and combines the results. Keywords find exact codes and names, meaning finds differently worded questions, and the combination beats either alone.

How fast is troveGEN search?

On our production hardware, measured on 17 October 2026, search took about 0.12 s at the median and under 0.15 s at the 95th percentile. While a large upload was running it stayed under 0.7 s. Your own network adds no public internet hop when you self-host.

Does search respect user permissions?

Yes. Access rules are applied inside the query, before ranking, using signed end-user assertions and your group structure, so a restricted passage cannot appear for any wording of a question.

Can I search in several languages?

Yes. Eighteen languages are verified end to end, and a question in one language can find a passage in another.

Can I search across more than one project?

Yes. Choose any set of projects in the console or the API; each is searched with its own settings and permissions and the results are merged by rank.
