Search

Alloy has a unified search that lets you find anything across the platform — or hand your question straight to Alloy AI — without leaving the page you're on.

Opening search

Open the search dialog from anywhere in Alloy:

• Click the Search button at the top of the sidebar
• Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac)

A search overlay appears on top of whatever page you're on. Press Esc to close it.

How it works

Type what you're looking for and press Enter to immediately ask Alloy AI. This is the fastest way to search your data — whether you're looking for specific missions, hunting for log patterns, finding images that match a description, or exploring a trend across your fleet.

For example:

• "instances with red cars" — AI searches across all your mission data for matching images
• "battery issues during outdoor missions" — AI finds and summarizes relevant events
• "GPS accuracy trends over the last month" — AI runs the analysis and shows you results

As you type, the search dialog also shows instant results from across the platform, grouped by type:

• Missions — matches against mission names, descriptions, summaries, key events, and metadata
• Reports — matches against report titles and content
• Scenarios — matches against scenario names and definitions
• Chats — matches against your Alloy AI conversation history

If one of these results is exactly what you're looking for, click it to jump straight there. Otherwise, just press Enter (or select the Ask AI option at the top) to hand your query to Alloy AI and get a full answer.

Filtering by type

If you want to narrow the instant results to a single category, start typing a category name (like "missions" or "reports") and press Tab to activate the filter. A badge appears in the search bar showing the active filter. Press Backspace on an empty search to remove it.

Searching your mission data with AI

Search is the quickest entry point for asking Alloy AI to find things in your raw mission data. Type a natural-language query and press Enter — Alloy AI will search across all instances in your mission library, including log messages, images, sensor readings, and metadata.

This replaces the need for separate log-pattern or image-description searches. Just describe what you're looking for:

• "find all moments where the robot detected an obstacle"
• "show me instances with GPS signal loss"
• "images of rocky coastline from last week's surveys"

Alloy AI can reason across multiple data types at once — correlating logs, images, timeseries, and metadata to answer complex questions. See Using the Chat for the full range of what Alloy AI can do.
