What it does

Search is the cross-corpus retrieval surface. It queries every VIMS store you have — files, knowledge, notes, chat history, memory, docs, podcasts, news — and returns results grouped by where they live.

FAQ

Is web search included?

Web search is a separate tool available to the assistant; Search covers your own data.

How does VIMS Search connect to the rest of VIMS?

It shares your identity from keys.vims.com and is reachable by agents through MCP and Flow, so it works alongside every other VIMS app.
