Step 1: Identify Query Type (+2)
Step 1: Identify Query Type
Classify the user's question to determine search strategy:
| Query Type | Example | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Decision | "What did we decide about X?" | Prioritize conversations (~~chat, email), look for conclusion signals |
| Status | "What's the status of Project Y?" | Prioritize recent activity, task trackers, status updates |
| Document | "Where's the spec for Z?" | Prioritize Drive, wiki, shared docs |
| Person | "Who's working on X?" | Search task assignments, message authors, doc collaborators |
| Factual | "What's our policy on X?" | Prioritize wiki, official docs, then confirmatory conversations |
| Temporal | "When did X happen?" | Search with broad date range, look for timestamps |
| Exploratory | "What do we know about X?" | Broad search across all sources, synthesize |
Step 2: Extract Search Components
From the query, extract:
- Keywords: Core terms that must appear in results
- Entities: People, projects, teams, tools (use memory system if available)
- Intent signals: Decision words, status words, temporal markers
- Constraints: Time ranges, source hints, author filters
- Negations: Things to exclude
Step 3: Generate Sub-Queries Per Source
For each available source, create one or more targeted queries:
Prefer semantic search for:
- Conceptual questions ("What do we think about...")
- Questions where exact keywords are unknown
- Exploratory queries
Prefer keyword search for:
- Known terms, project names, acronyms
- Exact phrases the user quoted
- Filter-heavy queries (from:, in:, after:)
Generate multiple query variants when the topic might be referred to differently:
User: "Kubernetes setup"
Queries: "Kubernetes", "k8s", "cluster", "container orchestration"
