# Spotlight search

Press **Cmd+K**(Mac) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows) anywhere in Speak AI, or click the search icon in the
top bar, to open Spotlight search. Type your term and results appear as you type. Click one to jump
straight to that file, transcript section, or folder.

![Spotlight search open over the folder list, with sales typed into the query box and an ESC hint beside it. Category chips for All, Folders, Media, Recorder, Recordings and Automations run underneath, and three matching files are listed below them, each labeled Media on the right. The footer offers Explore Insights and shows the keys for Navigate and Select.](/help/media/folders/folders-search.jpg)

Spotlight search covers:

- Full text of all your transcripts
- Media file names and descriptions
- Folder names
- Insights and keywords
- Speaker names

## Search inside one transcript

When you are viewing a media file, use the search bar above the transcript to search that file
alone. Matching text is highlighted, and clicking a match jumps to that section and starts playback
from there.

## Narrow the file list with filters

From your media library or a folder view, filter by:

- **Media type:** audio, video, or text
- **Date range:** files from a specific period
- **Speaker:** files where a specific person spoke
- **Sentiment:** files with positive or negative sentiment
- **Tags:** the [tags](/help/folders/tags/) you have applied
- **Folders:** files inside specific folders

## Search with AI Chat

For questions a keyword cannot answer, ask [AI Chat](/help/ai-chat/) at the folder level:

- "How many files are in this folder?"
- "Show files from last week"
- "Find all files tagged 'interview'"
- "Find files where Gender is Male", using [AI fields](/help/insights/fields/)

AI Chat can also act on what it finds: "Find all sales calls from last month and export them as
PDF."
