Search

One search across OneMango and the systems you keep outside it.

Overview

Search answers from the records it already holds. Type pto balance, next shift or who's on call and the first line is the number, the time or the name, with the button to act on it. Type a topic and a short, cited overview sits above a best match ranked on what you own, what you acknowledged, where you work and what colleagues open for the same words — then the SOP, the policy behind it, the person who wrote it, and the next step (Acknowledge, Complete, Pick up) as a button on the row. Same page on a phone.

Everything a person can open in OneMango is on that page, and nothing they cannot. On the Enterprise plan the same box reaches SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, Box, Dropbox and Salesforce: each person connects their own account once, every search runs as them, and nothing is copied or indexed. Notion is the one exception — it searches the titles of shared pages an admin approved for one employee group.

Admins see which searches find nothing and fix them straight from the list with a synonym or a promoted result, check what any employee would find, and choose which areas search reaches. People save searches and are told when something new turns up.

Highlights

Get the answer, not a link — type 'pto balance' or 'who's on call' and the first line is the number or the name, with the button to act on it.
Rank on what a search engine can't know: what you own, what you acknowledged, your site, your team, and what colleagues open for the same words.
Act from the result — Acknowledge the policy, Complete the task, Pick up the shift or Fill the form as a button on the row, on desktop or phone.
Reach SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, Box, Dropbox, Salesforce and approved Notion pages from the same box on Enterprise — searched live, nothing is copied or indexed.
Fix a bad search from the list: admins see the searches that find nothing and add a synonym or promote a result straight from that row.
Save a search and get told when something new appears — daily or weekly, only for results that did not exist when you saved it.

Capabilities

Answers & AI
  • Live answers from records — leave balance, next shift, who's on call, my manager, next holiday, clocked-in status, open tasks — each with the button to act
  • AI overview: a short, cited answer above the results from company knowledge and from the external sources that answered, loaded after the page paints so results never wait for it
  • The overview says 'not documented' rather than guessing, and admins see which questions company knowledge could not answer
  • Meaning matches — results found by embeddings when the words don't match a title, ranked with everything else and marked 'Meaning match'
  • 'Did you mean' — a spelling fix from the words the search did find, or the nearest search this company ran and found something for
  • Hand the search to Ask AI in one click; its answer comes back with up to three narrower searches that re-run the results page
Results & Ranking
  • One results page for the search box at the top of every page, across every OneMango app and settings page, grouped by where results live
  • A Best match card and up to four Top results ranked across every section, not just within one
  • Ranking on relevance, freshness, what you own or acknowledged, your location and team, and what colleagues open for this query — each row says why it ranks
  • Filter by area, date (external sources included) and 'only mine', with removable chips and a shareable URL for the filtered page
  • 'See all in <App>' hands the query to the app's own search page (Wikis, Libraries, Drive, Chat, Workspaces, Policies, SOPs, People, Forms)
  • Quoted phrases match words together — "radiation safety"
People & Experts
  • 'People who can help' — up to six experts from content ownership: the author of the matched policy, SOP or wiki, the answerer, the file owner
  • Experts by skill, job title, department or office — 'forklift certified', 'nurses in Austin' — from current, unexpired skills only
  • Person cards with title, department, manager, contact details, current skills and live presence ('On shift until 5:00 PM', 'Clocked in')
Act from the Result & Personal
  • Next-step buttons on the row — Request leave, Pick up (shift), Fill (form), Acknowledge (policy), Complete (task), Register (event) — shown only when the action is really open to you
  • Saved searches that keep their filters, with daily or weekly alerts judged against what existed when you saved — nothing old is ever 'new'
  • The page before you type: recent searches, saved searches and a 'for you' list — policies to acknowledge, tasks due this week, open shifts at your site, forms left as drafts
Search Connectors (Enterprise)
  • Microsoft 365 — SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams files, live through Microsoft Graph as the signed-in person
  • Google Drive, including shared drives
  • Confluence Cloud pages and blog posts, and Jira Cloud issues
  • ServiceNow knowledge articles
  • Slack messages and files, as the person — only what they could open in Slack
  • Microsoft Teams chat and channel messages the person can read
  • Box files and folders, and Dropbox files — by name, or by content where the Dropbox plan supports it
  • Salesforce records of the one object an admin chooses per source, by title
  • Notion — title search of shared pages an admin approved for one employee group; it does not check each person's own Notion permissions, and page bodies are not searched
  • Every search runs as the person through their own one-time connection — the source system decides what they see (Notion excepted, above); nothing is copied, indexed or cached, only a result count is logged, and the connection is encrypted and revoked at offboarding
  • Register a source per subsidiary or joint venture, each with its own credentials — multi-instance by design
  • Sources answer in parallel inside a fixed window; a slow or disconnected one becomes a labelled section with a Reconnect button, never a failed page
  • Admins told within the hour, in the Inbox and by email, when a source keeps failing — every search for 15 minutes, or at least five searches, and half of them, in the last hour (a rotated secret, a dead host, a provider limiting us)
Admin Controls
  • Synonyms — 'PTO' finds 'paid time off' in every area — with ten one-click starters and CSV import/export
  • Promoted results: pin a page or URL to chosen terms as the first result, with a start/end window and pause
  • Search as: see what any employee would find, with private areas counted but never listed, and every use audit-logged
  • Analytics: searches, zero-result rate, top queries, ended-at-row-one and no-click rates, p95 latency, a daily trend, click-through by section, phone vs desktop, CSV export
  • Fixes started from the zero-result list — add a synonym (prefilled with the nearest search that worked) or promote a result for those words — plus a weekly nudge listing the searches people keep running and opening nothing for
  • Choose which areas search reaches; include archived wikis and workspaces or deactivated people; keep image, video, audio, archive and design files out
  • Search-activity retention of 30, 90, 180 or 365 days, purged per company
Mobile, API & Agents
  • Phone results page with the same best match, live answers, AI overview, experts and row actions — and a Connections page to connect external sources from the phone
  • REST API (GET /api/v1/search) with the same engine, ranking, live answers, promotions and permissions as the page
  • Agent and MCP tools — search, fetch, deep_search and search_external — read-only and available to every connector, so Claude or ChatGPT search with the person's permissions
Limits & Specs
  • Searchable areas: Every app and settings area a person can open, grouped by category, each switchable by an admin
  • OneMango apps reached: Every app a person can open, except the few exempt by design (e.g. Speak Up)
  • Saved searches: 30 per person · alerts off, daily or weekly
  • Analytics windows: 7, 30 or 90 days
  • Search-activity retention: 30, 90, 180 or 365 days (default 90)
  • External sources: Answer within a 4-second window · 10 results per source per search
  • Availability: Included in the Platform Lite pack — every paid plan, no admin opt-in; Search Connectors need the Enterprise platform tier

Use cases

A technologist between patients needs an SOP
Types three words on the phone and gets the SOP, the policy behind it, the person who wrote it and the Acknowledge button — with meaning matches when the words don't match the title.
A new hire wants to know how many PTO days they have
Types 'pto balance' and the first line is the balance from Leave, with Request leave beside it — no policy to read, no HR ticket.
A shift lead needs someone forklift-certified tonight
Searches 'forklift certified' and People who can help lists the matches by current skill, each card showing who is on shift right now.
A company of 27 joint ventures on separate Microsoft tenants
Each JV's SharePoint is registered as its own source with its own app registration. A regional manager connects to the two they work in; results show a section for each, opening in that JV's SharePoint.
"People search for 'holiday schedule' and find nothing"
Analytics lists zero-result searches by frequency; the admin promotes the schedule or adds a synonym from that row, and the weekly nudge stops mentioning it.
Security review for a healthcare customer
External content is never copied into OneMango — searches run as the user through the source's own API and only a result count per source is logged — so a SharePoint holding clinical documents stays where it is, under Microsoft's permissions.
