Search Everywhere
Definition: A workspace UX pattern where one search box returns results from chat, docs, tasks, CRM, and files.
What it is
Search-everywhere is the UX promise that distinguishes a true workspace from a collection of tools: one search input that ranks results across every module — chat messages, doc paragraphs, task titles, CRM contacts, file contents. AI features (semantic search, natural-language queries) make search-everywhere genuinely useful instead of overwhelming.
Why it matters
Without search-everywhere, an all-in-one workspace is just five tools wearing one hat. With it, the consolidation premise actually pays off.
Layer UI in context
Layer UI's command-K search returns ranked results across the CRM, tasks, chat, and docs — with AI-generated answers above the result list.
