By just writing one single query it can search through Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Calendar and Drive and many more all at once. The time to results is quick and relevant.

Dislike

1. First, this is not countable in likes, and it has limited filters. 2. Its Mobile Version is not good because it takes more time than the Desktop version. 3. Sometimes old data files show up at the top side, so because of that have to take manual actions.

Dislike

Filters are extremely basic (e.g. no way to specify a particular date range), no meaningful administration controls via Google Admin (e.g. to prevent indexing of a particular Google Workspace application), no off-the-shelf first-party integrations offered to expand the index beyond supported Google Workspace applications, and no appreciable or noticeable updates/upgrades in years.
