Enterprise Search

Notion AI Enterprise Search can generate answers from information in a Notion workspace, supported connected applications and optionally the web, with citations to information sources used.

Recorded characteristics

Function
Enterprise Search allows users to ask questions and generate answers using information from their Notion workspace and supported connected applications. Notion documents source citations and controls for narrowing searches to particular sources, pages, teamspaces or connected applications.
Data access
Enterprise Search can search information in the user's Notion workspace and, when configured, supported third-party applications through Notion AI Connectors. Notion states that AI Connectors respect existing permissions and users cannot receive responses based on resources they do not have permission to access.

Permission basis
User permissions
Administrative control
Workspace owners manage Notion AI Connectors through Notion AI settings. Setting up third-party connectors requires appropriate workspace and connected-application administrative rights. Users can also control the scope of individual Enterprise Search queries, including whether connected applications or web search are included.
Default state
Not established
Availability
Notion documents Enterprise Search as available on Business and Enterprise plans. Searching third-party applications requires supported Notion AI Connectors to be configured.
Licensing
Enterprise Search and third-party Notion AI Connectors are documented for Business and Enterprise plans. Notion Mail is documented separately as available to connect across plans.
External model or provider
Notion documents access to multiple AI models in Enterprise Search, including models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. The model used can vary according to user selection and feature behaviour.
Limitations and uncertainty
Searchable information depends on the user's permissions, enabled connectors, indexed content and selected search scope. Notion states that newly added connected content can take time to become searchable, and individual connectors can have additional indexing and historical-access limitations.
