Search and AI search

Find documents by searching their full text, or ask in plain language with AI search.

fynk has two ways to find documents: the regular search looks for exact words inside your documents, and AI search turns a question in plain language into filters.

Available on all plans · AI search is in beta [CHECK: still beta?]

Which one to use

You want to find…Use
A name, a contract number, an address or a phrase in the textSearch
Documents that meet conditions, such as "NDAs with Acme signed this year"AI search
A fixed list you check regularlyFilters, saved as a view. See Use the document list: filters, columns, saved views.

Type in the search field at the top of fynk, or in the search field of the document list.

Search looks in:

  • the full text of every document, including scanned PDFs

  • metadata values

  • parties

Search doesn't look in tags (use the tag filter), attachments or files in a document's file storage.

The search looks for an exact match. Searching for within 30 days only finds documents containing exactly that phrase.

For an even stricter search, add a space before and after the phrase, for example " within 30 days ". Then only matches that include those spaces are found.

  1. Open the document list or the global search.

  2. Switch on AI mode.

  3. Ask your question, for example Service agreements over €5,000 signed last month or Contracts with a notice date in the next 90 days.

  4. fynk turns your question into filters and shows the matching documents.

You can see and adjust the filters fynk applied, and save the result as a view.
