About results from Cloud Search

Use Google Cloud Search to find the information you need from the sources you use everyday at work. You can search across your Google Workspace services, such as Gmail and Drive, and other data sources your organization turns on for you. Search results come from content in your organization’s domain when you're signed in to your Google Account for work or school.

Cloud Search respects your permission settings

For Google Workspace, Cloud Search follows the same sharing model used across your Google Workspace services. The results you see are based on the sharing settings already in place for your other Google Workspace services, such as Gmail, Drive, and Sites. For example, only you and the people and groups in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields see results from your Gmail.

For non-Google Workspace content, the search results you see are based on the sharing model set up by your organization.

See something that doesn’t look right? Check the permission settings of the content to make sure it’s shared appropriately or contact your administrator.

Spelling suggestions

Cloud Search automatically checks the spelling of the words in your search. If there's a more common spelling for what you're trying to find, you see a "Did you mean..." spelling suggestion at the top of your search results.

Known limitations

  • You can search content from only your organization's domain. Any content created outside your organization and shared with you doesn't appear in search results.
  • Deleted and Draft emails don't appear in search results.
  • Draft sites appear in search results if you use the All or Drive filters. Draft sites don't appear if you use the Sites filter.
  • Events from only your primary calendar show up in search results. Cloud Search doesn't currently support secondary calendars or calendars shared with you.
  • In large documents, only the first several thousand words are searchable.
