What is Enterprise Search in Claude

Enterprise Search adds a dedicated "Ask [organization name]" section to Claude's sidebar. This feature is built specifically for searching and synthesizing knowledge hidden within your company's tools and data sources. Unlike regular conversations with connected connectors, Enterprise Search is specifically designed for information gathering and uses custom instructions configured in collaboration with the Anthropic team. When you ask a question, Claude searches across all of your connected tools: SharePoint documents, Slack conversations, Gmail threads, Google Drive files — and synthesizes the information into a single answer. It always cites sources so you can get the full context. Enterprise Search is available for Team and Enterprise plans and is enabled by default for all organizations on these plans. However, initial setup by an administrator is required before use.
