F.A.Q.s

You only see products you have permission to access. Contact your Organisation Admin if you think something's missing.
Can I search using questions?
Global Search works best with keywords (names, product names, etc.). For questions, click the Copilot card to get conversational help.
Are my searches private?
Recent searches are stored only in your browser for quick access. They're not shared with others or across devices.
Will more products become searchable?
