Customer onboarding review

summary 11:48

Agnes asks which collaborator experience should be shown before advanced setup.

Launch readiness sync

transcript 04:12

The launch date stays the same, but the onboarding pilot needs a QA owner before we invite the next group.

Pipeline handoff

action item 18:06

Patryk will follow up with customers who got stuck at the collaborator invite.

## Find it even if you forgot the wording

Type “collaborator invite”, or ask why customers hesitate to add teammates. Both find the same line from the onboarding review at 11:48, because note1 matches the exact words and the meaning at the same time.

## Narrow it down to one meeting

When onboarding came up in three calls, pick the meeting you care about, or show only transcript lines or to-dos. Each filter shows how many matches it holds. Sort by best match or by newest meeting.

## Open a result and hear how it was said

Each result shows the meeting, where the match was found and a short excerpt. A transcript match opens the meeting at that line, ready to play the recording from there.

Transcripts from [imported recordings](https://note1.ai/features/upload-recordings) show up in search once they're processed. Upload an old interview or call recording and search it with the rest of your meetings.

 Results, then the answer

Search finds the three calls where onboarding came up. Ask note1 about the same results and it tells you that teams wait to invite collaborators until the workspace feels ready.

## Frequently Asked Questions

[Support](mailto:support@note1.ai)

### How do I search past AI meeting notes for a specific topic?

Press ⌘K in note1 and type the topic in a few words, such as “onboarding pilot”. note1 looks for the words and for their meaning across titles, transcripts, topics, questions, summaries and to-dos in the meetings you can open. Filter by meeting or by type to narrow it down.

### Which note takers offer searchable meeting history with answers that link to the meeting?

note1 does. Search lists every match in your meeting history. Ask note1 writes the answer and cites each meeting it drew from, so you can open the original line. It works in the dashboard, in Slack and on your Mac.

### Can I find a keyword in a meeting recording and jump to it?

Yes. Search for the word and open the transcript match. The meeting opens near that line, and you can play the recording from there.

### Can I filter meeting search results?

Yes. Narrow results to one or more meetings or to one kind of result, each with a count, and sort by best match or by meeting, newest first.

### Does meeting search respect private meetings?

Yes. A Private meeting you can't open won't show up in your results, whatever you type.

### Can I search meeting transcripts by keyword across months?

Yes. Search covers every processed meeting still in your workspace, from last week or from months ago. How far back you can go depends on how long your plan keeps meetings. Type the keyword and group results by meeting, newest first, to see when it came up.
