01

Search passages, not isolated hits

Paste one phrase or a list of terms and see the surrounding reconstructed passage. Results are ranked by coverage, phrase matches and proximity so the most useful context rises to the top.

02

Useful for specifications and reports

Use keyword coverage to spot terms that are present or absent in a long specification, policy, contract or research report. Open any result in the integrated viewer to check the original page.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. PDF reading, indexing and searching happen in your browser. The file is not uploaded to KnowledgePilot or permanently stored.

Can this search scanned PDFs?

This version searches PDFs with a selectable text layer. If a document contains mostly page images, it will tell you that there is little searchable text instead of presenting a misleading empty result.

Does the tool use AI?

No. Matching, paragraph reconstruction and ranking are deterministic browser-side operations. There are no LLM calls or AI APIs.
