File search
Gety searches the full content of all your local files — Word, PDF, Excel, PPT, images, and more. You don't need to remember the file name or where you saved it. Just type whatever you recall and Gety finds it.
Results in 0.01 seconds
On first launch, Gety indexes all your files — typically done in a few minutes. After that, every search returns in milliseconds.
Open Gety and type in the search box — results update with every keystroke, no need to press Enter.
Compared to the system search that can take tens of seconds, Gety lets you browse results as you type without breaking your flow.
Elegant content preview
Click any result in the list and a preview panel opens on the right, highlighting matching passages and taking you straight to the information you need.
The top-right corner shows a match count (e.g. 34/142) — click the up/down arrows to jump between matches and quickly scan through a long document.
No need to open the file or scroll through pages — you see the answer the moment you click a result.
Filter and refine
When results are overwhelming, Gety offers two ways to narrow them down.
Capsule quick filters
Below the search box, Gety automatically suggests filter capsules based on your results. Click a capsule to filter by file type (PDF, Word, Markdown, etc.) or time range (last week, last month). Click again to remove the filter.
Left filter panel
Click the filter icon on the left side of the capsule bar to expand the left filter panel. It provides more granular filtering:
- File type: Check Image, Markdown, Word, PDF, etc. to show only specific formats
- Connector: Limit the search scope to a specific folder or connector source
- Time: Filter by last 24 hours, week, month, or year
- Match type: Choose between title match, content match, or semantic match
OCR: search text in images
Gety has built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition), enabled by default — no extra setup needed.
Text inside scanned documents, screenshots, and photos is automatically recognized during indexing. Just search by keyword and Gety finds matches from image content.
Semantic search
Can't remember the exact keyword? Describe what you're looking for in natural language. Semantic search is enabled by default — no manual toggle needed.
Gety runs keyword matching and semantic matching at the same time. When a result comes from semantic understanding, it is labeled with an AI semantic match tag so you can tell the difference.
For example, search for "service contract" and Gety can find a document titled "statement of work" through semantic understanding.
Semantic search works best for vague or exploratory queries, such as "food procurement requirements in a franchise contract." When you know the exact keyword, regular search is faster.
Search tips
- Exact match: Wrap your search term in double quotes, e.g.
"restaurant management", to keep the words together as a phrase - Multiple keywords: Enter several keywords to broaden results — files containing more of them rank higher, e.g.
contract 2019 restaurant
