LivingContext gives you two complementary ways to find things: full-text search across the content of every doc, and a sidebar filter that narrows the file tree by name. Together they cover both “I remember a phrase” and “I know roughly where it lives”.

​
Full-text search

Press ⌘ K anywhere in the workspace to open the command palette — it searches your docs and doubles as a navigator (“Go to Home”, “Go to Docs”, …).
  • Every doc is indexed — search looks inside titles and content of all pages, including changelog entries. Type at least two characters.
  • Results are ranked and grouped by repo — the best matches surface first.
  • Snippets are highlighted — each result shows the matching passage with your terms highlighted, so you can judge relevance before clicking.
Selecting a result takes you straight to the page in the docs viewer.
If results ever look empty or stale, run the palette’s Reindex docs for search action (requires edit rights) to rebuild the index for your repo.
One exception: on the Schema page, ⌘ K opens the diagram’s own palette instead — jump to an object, zoom, or switch display modes.
Search by the words readers would use, not just component names. Because docs describe behavior — “quarterly discount approval” — search often finds the right page faster than hunting through Salesforce Setup for the flow that implements it.
The search box in the docs sidebar works differently: it filters the file tree in place. Type a few characters and the tree collapses to matching files and their parent folders. This is the fastest option when you know roughly what a page is called or where it lives.

​
Freshness

Search covers your published docs. Draft content on an unmerged change request branch is not part of the shared index — it becomes searchable when the CR merges.

​
A typical search flow

1

Open search

Press ⌘ K from any page in the workspace.
2

Type a phrase

Use the words you remember from the doc — a feature name, a process term, an error message.
3

Scan the snippets

The highlighted passages tell you which result actually answers your question.
4

Jump to the page

Select a result to open it in the docs viewer, with breadcrumbs showing where it lives.

Search-friendly docs

A few habits make your docs easier to find:
  • Descriptive titles — “Quote approval process” beats “Process notes”.
  • Use your team’s vocabulary — write the terms people will actually type, including common synonyms.
  • One topic per page — focused pages rank cleanly; sprawling pages match everything weakly.
  • Tag docs to Salesforce components — tags don’t just power coverage; they keep docs organized around the things people search for.
Agent-generated docs follow your configured style, so consistent terminology across generated and hand-written docs comes largely for free.
