Search & Command K

Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) to open Command K—your universal search and command palette.

Search Tabs

Command K organizes search results into tabs for faster navigation:

Tab	What it searches
All	Everything across your workspace
Emails	Email threads and messages
Tasks	Tasks from all your lists
Docs	Documents you’ve created
Events	Calendar events and meetings
People	Contact records
Companies	Organization records
Files	Files from emails and docs
Links	URLs extracted from emails and docs
Chats	Your past AI chat conversations

Use Tab to cycle through tabs, or click directly on a tab name.

Preview Panel

When searching People or Companies, a preview panel appears on the right showing:

• Profile photo and basic info
• Recent activity
• Quick actions

This lets you see details without leaving Command K.

Quick Actions

Create new items directly from Command K:

Add to List

When viewing a Person or Company in search results, you can quickly add them to any list:

1. Select the record
2. Click “Add to List” in the preview panel
3. Choose the destination list

AI Search

Type a question in natural language to search with AI:

• “What did Sarah email me about last week?”
• “Find all emails about the Q4 budget”
• “Show me tasks due this week”

AI search understands context and can find information across emails, docs, and records.

Deep Search

Deep Search is Micro’s semantic search layer. It goes beyond keyword matching — it understands the meaning of your query and finds relevant results across your email history, even when the exact words don’t match.

How It Works

When you connect your email, Micro indexes your email history into a searchable semantic database. This powers:

• AI assistant answers — When you ask the AI a question about past conversations, it uses Deep Search to find relevant emails
• On-demand autofill — When the AI fills a property, it can search your email history for context
• Meeting prep — Background research pulls from your full conversation history with a person

What Gets Indexed

Deep Search indexes all of your synced email history — everything Micro ingests is searchable. On free and trial plans, that’s the last 3 years. On paid plans, it’s your full inbox history.

New emails are indexed automatically as they arrive.

Deep Search vs Regular Search

	Regular Search	Deep Search
How it works	Keyword matching	Semantic understanding
Coverage	All synced emails	All synced emails
Used by	Command K search bar	AI assistant, autofill, meeting prep
Example	Searching “budget” finds emails containing “budget”	Asking “what did we discuss about finances?” finds emails about budgets, revenue, costs

Email Sync

When you connect a Gmail account, Micro syncs your email history:

	Free / Trial	Paid
Emails synced	Last 3 years	Full inbox history
Contacts created	All unique contacts from synced emails	All unique contacts from synced emails
Deep Search indexed	All synced emails	All synced emails

After the initial sync, new emails are processed in real time.

Note

Sync happens in two phases. First, your recent sent emails are synced so you see your conversations quickly. Then a full background sync runs for the rest of your history.

Pro Tip

Use Command K as your home base. Instead of navigating through menus, just press ⌘K and type what you want to do—whether that’s finding an email, creating a task, or changing your theme.
