Search across sessions
import DataBoundary from ‘../../../components/DataBoundary.astro’;
Outcome
Section titled “Outcome”You can query indexed transcripts across multiple sessions and open the source sessions returned with an answer.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- At least one completed transcript.
- A local or configured remote answer provider.
- For semantic enhancement, the local search model may need to be downloaded.
- Open Global Chat from the application sidebar.
- On first use, let Synthezia index the available sessions. It builds the text index first and then continues semantic enhancement in the background.
- If indexing is skipped, stalled, or fails, select Index now or Retry indexing when you are ready.
- When the input is enabled, ask a specific question across sessions.
- Open a returned source card to inspect the cited session and verify the answer in its transcript.
Expected result
Section titled “Expected result”Global Chat returns a streamed answer and source cards for retrieved sessions. Text indexing can be usable before semantic embeddings finish.
Data boundary
Section titled “Data boundary”Global indexing stores local chunks and search data. With an External API selected, a Global Chat request can transmit the query, selected transcript excerpts, and prior user questions to the configured endpoint.
Common problems
Section titled “Common problems”- No sessions are indexed: complete transcription for a session, then start indexing again.
- Indexing takes longer than expected: Global Chat can remain available for already indexed sessions; retry the remaining ones later.
- An answer has no source support: treat it as unverified and inspect the underlying sessions.
