Numeric search for precise code retrieval
Find product codes, error codes, dates, and versions with AI — even from messy spreadsheets.
Trusted by teams at 10,000+ organizations
Why numeric search matters
Most AI tools struggle to reliably answer questions related to specific product IDs, error codes, or order numbers. Other AI tools miss or mix up results — leading to irrelevant, misleading, or partial results.
Numeric search looks at alphanumeric identifiers more carefully, delivering precise matches from spreadsheets and other sources, so you get helpful, complete answers the first time.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Numeric Search, and why do I need it?
Numeric Search is a feature built to handle alphanumeric identifiers—such as product codes, order IDs, error codes, dates, and version numbers—with precision. Unlike regular AI search, it treats codes differently from normal text, ensuring accurate retrieval even from messy spreadsheets or structured data sources.
How is Numeric Search different from a normal AI search?
Traditional AI search tools often confuse or miss product IDs and error codes because they treat them as plain text. Numeric Search applies exact matching logic, prioritizing alphanumeric patterns, so you get complete, accurate results instead of partial or misleading answers.
What kind of data works best with Numeric Search?
Numeric Search is optimized for:
- Spreadsheets and tables containing product IDs, order numbers, or dates
- Error logs or support ticket data
- Version histories and structured engineering datasets
If your workflows involve codes or identifiers, Numeric Search dramatically reduces noise and irrelevant results.
Is Numeric Search just for numbers, or can it handle a mix of text and codes?
Numeric Search isn’t limited to numbers alone. It’s built to understand alphanumeric identifiers—like product IDs, error codes, version strings, or order numbers—that often combine digits and text. This ensures accurate retrieval whether your query is numeric, textual, or a mix of both.
What happens if there are similar codes (like SKU-001 vs. SKU-0001)?
Numeric Search is designed to treat codes with exact precision. Instead of grouping or confusing near-matches, it respects every character in the identifier. That means SKU-001 and SKU-0001 are recognized as distinct values, so you always retrieve the correct record without accidental overlaps.
What are some real-world examples of how teams use Numeric Search?
- Support Teams: Resolve error codes faster, reduce ticket volume, and improve customer experience.
- Sales & Ops: Retrieve product IDs, track shipments with exact matches, and quickly access structured data.
- Engineering & Product: Debug logs with error codes, look up version histories, and shorten troubleshooting cycles.
How does Numeric Search improve accuracy in spreadsheets?
Numeric Search is spreadsheet-aware. It recognizes tabular structures, interprets rows and columns intelligently, and ensures that code-based lookups are not lost in irrelevant context.
Can it handle really messy spreadsheets with inconsistent formatting?
Yes. Numeric Search was designed for exactly that. Even if your spreadsheets have merged cells, inconsistent column naming, or codes buried inside text fields, the system can still identify alphanumeric patterns like order numbers, error codes, and SKUs.
How do I enable or disable Numeric Search?
Numeric Search is enabled by default, so you can start using it right away without any setup. Navigate to Personalize › Citation. From here, you can click to disable the feature if your workflow doesn’t require code-aware search, and re-enable it later when you do.
What happens if I don’t enable Numeric Search?
Without Numeric Search, queries involving product IDs, error codes, or order numbers may return incomplete or mixed-up answers. Enabling Numeric Search ensures exact matches, improving reliability across structured data.
Which plans include Numeric Search?

Can Numeric Search integrate with my existing business systems?
Yes. Numeric Search is purpose-built to enhance code-based retrieval across the tools your teams already use. Whether it’s a CRM, ERP, support platform, or internal log system, it treats product codes, order numbers, and error IDs with the precision they require. The result is faster lookups, fewer mismatches, and more reliable access to the critical data your business depends on every day.
