Self-Service Data Discovery

Global Search

Global Search: Find anything, anywhere in your data and AI journey.

Every data discovery process starts with a question. How do we calculate ARR? How do we define an “active customer”? Has anyone already run this query before? Or has anyone asked this business question in the past?

With illumex’s Global Search, you have the power to find anything from anywhere in your data practice. Whether it’s a data object like a table or a column, a semantic entity like a metric or a term, a single query or even a portion of it, a tag, or even a BI dashboard or visual, Global Search has you covered.

illumex Global Search is a powerful tool that can help you significantly reduce the time spent on insight. By quickly finding the answers to your questions about your data stack and the semantic layer on top of it, you can focus on what’s important: making better decisions with your data.

You can launch Global Search from anywhere with a simple Ctrl+/ shortcut, and type a keyword or description of what you are looking for – with our semantic search, illumex understands the intent of the search. Too many entities resulted? Use our advanced Discovery search to accurate your search with filters and additional tools.

Here are some of the benefits of using Global Search:

  • Speed: Global Search can help you find the information you need quickly and easily.
  • Accuracy: Global Search is powered by a semantic search engine that understands the meaning of your data, so you can be confident that the results you get are accurate and most relevant.
  • Clarity: Global Search provides clear and concise results, so you can easily understand what you’re looking at.
