Search and Discovery

Intelligent Search

Organizations struggle to navigate a growing sea of data. As data volume surges, finding and using the right data becomes impossible. Democratize search and discovery of enterprise data assets for better decisions with Intelligent Search.

Universal Search

Is your data decentralized – spread across databases, lakehouses, file systems, and more? Alation's AI-driven universal search bar makes it easy to search all sources at once. Quickly browse and discover the most relevant, trusted data. Alation accepts and understands the meaning of queries in natural language, sharing contextual results based on meaning, and democratizing data access to anyone in the organization.

Advanced search

Pinpoint the right data rapidly. Starting with semantic and keyword-driven search, efficiently find contextual information in seconds. Advanced search filters let you narrow down results by object type. Sort by custom tags relevant to your focus, or organize by quality, spotlighting data that is endorsed or deprecated. Save your custom searches to easily run them again.

"Everything is just right there at your fingertips. You can perform a keyword search on a term that you heard in passing and learn more about that data. It's kind of like performing a Google search on the data within your company. It makes finding things very, very simple."
