What is Deep Search?

The Deep Search tool performs a much more thorough search across your entire Workspace. 

It will find information buried deep in Docs, tasks, and other assets, even if they’re years old or hard to locate with standard search.

Deep Search can also access data available through connected apps and MCP servers.

Deep Search is especially useful in large Workspaces with lots of data. It's also useful for complex, multistep searches.
