Accessing and navigating the ZSearch panel

The ZSearch panel is the primary interface where users search enterprise knowledge, manage projects, and navigate search workflows. Once logged in, users are presented with a clean, search-first interface that makes enterprise information easy to discover and use.

This section explains the main areas of the ZSearch panel and how to navigate them.

ZSearch home screen

When you open ZSearch, you are taken to the home screen. The home screen is centered around search and provides quick access to core ZSearch features.

At the center of the screen, you will see:

  • A prominent search prompt inviting users to begin a search

  • A search input field where users can enter keywords or natural language queries

  • A search action button to execute the query

This search-first design allows users to immediately begin searching across their approved enterprise knowledge.

The search bar is the primary interaction point in ZSearch.

Using the search bar, users can:

  • Enter keyword-based queries

  • Ask natural language questions

  • Search across all data sources included in their enterprise context

ZSearch interprets the query, applies relevance ranking, and returns results based on the user’s access permissions.

Left navigation panel

The left-hand navigation panel provides access to key areas within ZSearch.

The navigation options include:

  • My Projects Displays all projects created by or shared with the user. Projects allow users to group selected documents and collaborate within a focused context.

  • New Search Begins a new search.

This navigation panel remains accessible throughout the ZSearch experience.

Application header

The application header at the top of the panel displays:

  • The ZSearch branding

  • A settings or configuration icon (based on user role and permissions)

The header provides consistent access to application-level controls while keeping the main interface focused on search and projects.

Search-centered workflow

ZSearch is designed around a search-centered workflow:

  • Users start by searching from the home screen

  • Search results can be reviewed and refined

  • Relevant documents can be grouped into projects for deeper exploration

The interface minimizes distractions and emphasizes quick access to enterprise knowledge.
