AI Search

AI Search allows you to discover relevant datasets and indexed tables across the Data Catalog using natural language queries.

Accessing AI Search

You can access the AI Search interface from two main entry points:

• From the Homepage: Navigate to Data Catalog > AI Search.

• Within a Project: Navigate to Data Catalog > AI Search.

Searching for datasets & indexed tables

To begin a search, enter a natural language query describing the data you are looking for (e.g., “Find datasets related to financial records”).

The AI Search engine will:

• Generate a global explanation of why the identified datasets and indexed tables are meaningful in the context of your query.

• Display a list of up to 5 relevant datasets/indexed tables associated with your request.

Refining a search

You can refine your results by submitting follow-up questions or instructions. This allows you to keep the context of the previous questions without starting a new search (e.g., “Only show results as part of project X”, “Filter for datasets with the tag ‘finance’”).

The engine will then regenerate the global explanation and update the list of datasets to match your refined criteria.

Interacting with results

For each dataset and indexed table returned in the search results, you can open the right-hand panel to perform direct actions or use the buttons from the result tile:

• Preview: View a sample of the dataset’s data.

• Request share: Request access to the dataset if you do not already have the necessary permission.

• Use: Use the dataset directly within a project.

Note

The explanations are AI-generated and, as such, are subject to errors.
