Should I always use precise search commands to get accurate Slack advanced-search results?
Asked 3 years ago
My team leader has reassigned me to take over a new project, and I'm looking for a way to quickly find all the notes and project memos in our Slack server. I want to use the slash command to get the best results, but I wonder if I should use a specific term or if I can be more general with my search query. Is accuracy a prerequisite?

Typically, precise search commands will help you find more relevant results than indefinite and imprecise ones. Suppose you're using Slack to search for a particular message in your Slack inbox or to discover the most recent messages from a particular person. In that case, you should use precise search commands to get accurate results. However, if you're looking for general information on Slack, there's no need to be so detailed.
