FAQ

What is AI enterprise search?

Enterprise search products that index information scattered across company systems and answer with AI. Input: a natural language question. Output: cross-system cited answers and knowledge cards. Notable products include Glean, Perplexity Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Copilot's search; Glean is among the fastest-growing enterprise search companies.

How is it different from Google or Baidu?

General search engines index public web pages; enterprise search indexes private internal data and filters results by each employee's permissions. It also stitches fragments across systems into complete answers, solving the know-it-exists-but-can't-find-it problem.

Is it secure to deploy? Could secrets leak?

Leading platforms ship enterprise-grade security: fine-grained permission inheritance, SSO/SAML, audit logs, encryption and regional compliance like SOC 2 and GDPR. Employees can only retrieve content within their permissions, admins control whether external models are used, and regulated industries can choose private or VPC deployment.

Is integration complicated?

Most platforms ship 200+ prebuilt connectors so syncing mainstream SaaS is checkbox-level. The real work is permission mapping: syncing your identity system and per-app permissions into the index so nothing out-of-scope is visible. Pilots typically launch in 2–6 weeks depending on system count and permission complexity.

What if it can't find an accurate answer?

Check three things: whether the source is synced and fresh (disconnected or unmapped permissions), whether your question uses keywords absent from the systems, and whether internal acronyms are recognized. Most platforms let admins review unanswered queries in the dashboard and add sources to keep improving hit rates.

What company size is it for?

Mid-to-large companies with many files, chats and SaaS tools benefit most; teams above roughly 50–100 people with data spread across systems are worth piloting. Small teams can start with lightweight options like Notion AI or Copilot. Compare permission models, connector count, citation quality and compliance certs — pricing is usually per-seat subscription.
