Introducing Deep Find: When Documents Are Buried

You know a specific document exists. A regulation. A court filing. A research paper. But after three pages of Google results, you still haven't found it.

This is what we call buried retrieval: the document is real and retrievable, but it's not on Google's first page. Professional searchers hit this wall constantly: CBN circulars in government PDFs, obscure case law on secondary sites, technical reports hosted by vendors, academic preprints, regulatory filings in non-obvious locations.

The old workaround was tab hell. You'd manually try different search angles, dig through government sites, cross-reference citations, and piece together where the document actually lives. It's the research tax that kills productivity.

Today, we're introducing Deep Find.

When you search for a specific document on FIND and we can't confidently deliver it on the first pass, we offer to dig deeper. Deep Find is an agentic retrieval system that hunts, reads, and verifies candidate sources until it finds the exact document you're looking for.

Here's how it works: we try the fast path first. If that doesn't pin down what you're looking for, Deep Find reformulates your query across different angles, searches the web, reads candidate pages to verify, and returns a direct URL. Most digs finish in 30–60 seconds. Speed by default, depth when needed.

Example: "the full text of the 1971 Lockheed bailout hearing." A generic search returns government summaries and news articles. Deep Find dug through 39 sources, found the official transcript in the Congressional Record on govinfo.gov, and pinned the exact PDF.

Another: "Disney's 9 Old Men animation principles PDF." Deep Find located the archived book chapter, verified the match, and returned the link.

The retrieval is neutral. Deep Find doesn't filter results based on source. It ranks by relevance and whether the document resolves. Your choice to read, download, or cite is yours alone.

You'll see Deep Find surface as an option whenever you search for something specific that our fast path can't pin down. It's included in all paid plans. If you toggle "Auto Deep Find" in your settings, we'll start digging automatically on specific-document hunts.

This is the latest piece of our thesis: research debt lives in the gaps between what you know exists and what you can find. Speed solves most of it. Depth solves the rest.

Try it on your next buried-document hunt.
