Frequently Asked Questions
What can Lawcadia's advanced search find?
Lawcadia’s advanced search covers the entire platform, including matters, emails, documents, workflow data, notes and previous legal advice. It is not limited to file names or metadata, it searches within the content of documents and correspondence, making it possible to locate specific clauses, regulatory references, or project details quickly across large volumes of stored information.
How is this different from searching a shared drive or inbox?
Shared drives and inboxes return results based on file names or basic keyword matches, with no awareness of context, permissions or matter relevance. Lawcadia’s search is powered by natural language processing, understands search intent, and returns results ranked by relevance. Critically, it respects the platform’s access controls, so users only see results from matters they are authorised to access.
Can advanced search be used to find previous legal advice?
Yes. This is one of the most practical applications of the feature. Rather than relying on individual team members’ memories or manually searching through archived emails, the legal team can retrieve past advice, precedents and supporting documents directly from within the platform. This reduces duplicated effort and supports more consistent advice across the team.
Does advanced search respect matter-level permissions?
Yes. Search results are filtered according to each user’s access rights within the platform. A user without access to a confidential matter will not see results from that matter, even if the search terms match its content. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected regardless of how broad a search query is.
What technology powers Lawcadia's advanced search?
Lawcadia’s advanced search is powered by AWS search technology with natural language processing. It integrates data repositories across the platform into a unified search experience, enabling rapid and contextually accurate retrieval of information at scale.
How does advanced search support knowledge management?
By making it straightforward to retrieve past work, related matters and previous advice, advanced search reduces the time legal teams spend reconstructing institutional knowledge. New team members can access relevant precedents quickly, and the team as a whole benefits from the accumulated knowledge stored in the platform rather than in individual inboxes or personal files.
