Nextcloud: search
One search box for files, folders, comments, calendar, and contacts. Everything runs on your EU instance.
Why search matters
Find a contract, quote, or approved document quickly. No digging through shared drives or asking a colleague where it lives.
Unified search
One field in the Nextcloud UI. Results from storage you are allowed to see.
Full text in documents
Search names and content in common formats (PDF, Office, text). OCR in scans when enabled.
Calendar and contacts
Events and people in the same search as files.
Filters and permissions
Results respect groups and shares. You only see what belongs to you.
What we set up at deployment
- Background indexing of new files.
- Optional stronger full text engine for large data volumes.
- Folder templates and tags for clearer results.
- Team training on search and tagging important files.
Search runs on our EU servers. Indexes are not sent to public US services.
